cheney as well i think cheney and bush rumsfeld certainly they will all go to these countries to get outside of the reach of folks who will be wanting to have them accountable for the nine eleven that they created the iraq war that they created the close to a million iraqi civilians a thing murdered in cold blood because it would tony blair just admitted to a power play for oil remember blair was saying no blood for oil it's not blood for oil it is blood for oil you lying sack of dog dirt you know you should be ashamed yourself you know lose his wife for a divorce of machinery i mean the guy's worthless well let's look at what this three trillion dollars and this giant warfare state has done to the u.s. economy no defense left against a double dip recession says nouriel roubini quote the us has run out of bullets he's referring to a policy response by the fed and treasury said they have no way to fight what the the deflationary collapse no monetary policy no fiscal policy left a good deal of it is caused by the reaction to nine eleven which alan greenspan lowered interest rates almos

signed liz cheney, chairman, keep america safe.ame, who in the hell do you think you're talking to? the negligence, dereliction of duty and nonfeasance of your father led directly to this country having to absorb a terrorist attack. to quote you, your father and mr. bush failed to use every tool at their disposal to find, defeat, capture, and kill terrorists and were unwilling or unable to do what it takes to keep this nation safe. your father and mr. bush, miss cheney, were utter failures whose track record on terrorism will go down in infamy, and worse still, your statements suggest that this country is not capable of absorbing the consequences of a terrorist attack, even though it already has, because it had to, because your father and mr. bush failed to absorb the warnings screamed at you by the intelligence community. america, miss cheney, absorbed eight years of your father and george bush. we have proved we can absorb anything. and the only explanation owed to the american people, miss cheney, is by you. is the name of your

he wants to keep the bush- cheney tax cuts in place, except for two brackets -- the brackets for themoney class of society. >> the wealthiest americans who disproportionately benefitted note only from tax cuts from the bausch and bush administration but also benefitted when it comes to corporate profits and where the gains and productivity were going, they're going to give up a little more. >> just this week, senate republican leader mitch mcconnell introduced a bill that would keep in place bush- cheney tax policy. republicans in the senate have vowed to block any change by president obama on the tax bracket now in force for the big earners and big investors currently and paying 33% and 35%, which obama wants to put back to 36% and 39.6%. question, are the democrats going to increase taxes on the high earners during a recession? >> no, they will not. despite the fact that president obama has driven a stake in the ground, nancy pelosi has said no, they're very averse to raising taxes or letting all of the bush tax cuts expire. there are enough democrats now by my last count, five dem

. >>> lynne cheney, well she's just like her daddy when it comes to psycho talk. she says that president obama is unwilling to keep the american people safe. i'll show you what the president really said and we'll get rapid fire response on that. and aren't you getting kind of sick and tired of the doom and gloom predictions that are out there by all of the experts about how bad it's going to be for the democrats in the midterms? i don't buy it. congressman allen grayson a loud and proud progressive and is working with voters in his district. we'll tell you how he's doing it coming up in "the playbook." >>> but this is the story that has me fired up tonight. i, arch 20 months of saying no to every piece of legislation that the president put on on the table for the american people and on the agenda. came out with their pledge to america today. john boehner and their croonies, they're pretty slick. let's see, they took off their coats and silk ties and even rolled up their sleeves just like you, the working vote. and they unveiled their 21-page plan at the tart lumbe

there's a good deal of cheney in those books. cheney is a hold it type.biden is the opposite of let it go. and one of the interesting parts here is the relationship between obama and biden. and i asked obama about this, and i said, you know, don't -- isn't joe a little heavy handed here? doesn't he go too long too far? no, obama said, he's doing exactly what i want. i want him to push in the strategy review sessions, and during this whole process up to a couple months ago as i report. biden is asking the questions, worried profoundly about getting into another vietnam. and he's 19 years older than obama, remembers vietnam. gets in his face about it. >> now, every one of these books provokes a round of apologies in washington. there's the famous now biden quote about richard holbrooke being egotistical. and as you continue in the book, but he is probably the best guy for the job. i had the vice president on monday night, was his first interview since that quote came out. and he was dealing with me with that quote, while dick holbrooke was here having compl

speaking of which, our winner, again, liz cheney, you might remember her loud showy cheney-esque arrogantb a terrorist attack. this comment suggests an alarming fatalism on the part of the president and his administration. once again the seems either unwilling or unable to do what it takes to keep this nation safe. the president owes this american people an explanation. turns out i was being easy on her. think progress found an interesting item cached from the white house website during the bush administration, under the heading proer ing heading, protect the american people, critical infrastructure and key resources, a 19 paragraph document describing its national strategy for homeland security. the relevant part reads, "we must work to ensure the ability of power, communications and other life sustaining systems to survive this an attack by terrorists, we must focus on the resilience of the system as a whole, an approach that centers on investments that make the system better able to absorb the impact of an event without losing the capacity to function." . so liz cheney attacked the pre

. >> by the way, when dick cheney said you better vote for republicans here, we're not going to be safe. we night get attacked again. was that a threat? >> can i get colmes saying -- i think he is such a pure idealogue that his ideology his progressive ideology trumps everything includes polls, colleges and each re-election. his fundamental duty, according to himself and his ideology was to fundamentally remake america in a socialist model and he has got one turn to do it. >> bill: isn't that something that should be admired. >> if you are a progressive idealogue like colmes. >> bill: if you are a right winger like you. >> bill that would be okay except he is on the wrong side of 70% of the american people and the constitution. >> bill: if the american people are getting hurt if by his policies. >> and they. >> dick cheney threaten the united states. >> what are you talking about, colmes? >> the threat? hey, you better vote for republicans or we will get attacked again. >> did he not say that nut case. >> bill: if the former vice president -- would you please send colmes an autographed

they did it to dick cheney, to dr. condoleezza rice.at president of the united states needs to lead example. people want to hear the president talk in very confident tones and he sounds like a very thin-skinned individual. >> ron, you're amazing, sir. >> i'm sorry. he is. >> you definitely got it down, ron. i'll give you credit. ron and jack rice. >> say it like you mean it. >> good to you have with us, fellows. >>> coming up, i can't believe that are there americans who don't want their kids to were president obama's back-to-school tomorrow speech. some conservative nut jobs are raising hell that he's going to indoctrinate their kids by their message to them next in "the playbook." hi, folks. hi. we're ready to switch our car insurance to progressive. today just seemed like a great day to save. oh, it's not just today. with our free loyalty program, you earn great stuff like accident forgiveness and bigger discounts just by staying with us. oh! ooh! so, what you're saying is, it gets even better with age. oh! tell me we're still talkin

. >> casey cheney is not happy to be living next to a gas pipeline on the top 100 work priority list. under pressure after the san bruno pipeline explosion, the giant released a list of location where is it's planning to work for the last year. the rupture area in san bruno that destroyed 37 homes, cheney said pg&e just finished on work on a gas line there. >> it makes the transmitter go out and spark and catch fire. after that, we got a letter saying pipeline in the street. >> they need to replace about 300 feet of pipe because of concerns about ground movement. the line was installed in 1977 and runs from san pablo to antioch. >> i was nervous about it after the san bruno thing. pretty nervous. >> they are on damage control, assuring the public they are doing new surveys to assure pipelines are safe. they released 2008 audit information. they cited pg&e for not complying with min requirements after they determined an employee conducting leak tests would not qualify to do the job. pg&e said the supervisor was fired and a system is set up to prevent it from happening again. >> custome

but also, it was not the horror story that dick cheney and george bush was trying--were trying to tell us. and i think he, uh, barack obama, really, and his policies of reset, uh, really put russia back into perspective that it deserves. so we deal with them on certain issues, we don't deal with them on others. >> we'll come back to that in a minute. but let's--we spoke to some other experts as well. let's see what they said about the question of why russia's trying to reassert itself. >> under its czar, under stalin, under brezhnev, the russian economy was always a cripple. and yet, they were a major global power, uh, fearsome and terrifying. and the reason is because in russia, the economy is dominated by the only institution that efficiently works, the kgb, the nkbd, and so on. and they're able, therefore, through the use of force and terror, to transfer from the economy to the military economy any resources that they want. and so you have an asymmetry in russia, a weak economy and a very strong military. and that's exactly where putin and medvedev are going again. >> you certainly

the line near cheney is in san pablo. pg&e just finished work on a gas pipeline there. >> we kept making this transmitter go out, start, catch fire, and that's the original reason they were out here. after that, we got a letter saying the pipeline is on our street. >> reporter: they need to replace about 300 pipe in the neighborhood because of concerns about ground movement. the line was installed in 1977 and runs from san pablo to antioch. >> i was nervous about it after the san bruno thing. >> reporter: pg&e is on damage control, assuring the public it's doing new surveys to assure the public its safe. the state agency says it cited pg&e for not complying with minimum gas safety requirements, after it determined an employee who was conducting gas pipeline leak tests was not qualified to do the job. pg&e says the supervisor was fired and a system is set up to prevent that mistake from happening again. >> customers discovering what's underfoot are uncomfortable. the work in san pablo is scheduled to happen in 2012, pg&e s

dick cheney says he's already out, speaking about you. i may be out of their version of the republican party, but there's another version of the republican party waiting to emerge once again. that was a year ago. is the tea party what you had in mind? >> i have to point out that mr. cheney pulled that comment back a few weeks later and said maybe i should stay in the party if i chose to remain in the party. i'm kind of like a mike bloomberg in that he has shifted back and forth. i consider myself a moderate republican. i have very, very moderate social views and are pretty strong on defense matters and i think there's a party in there that wants to come out. if the republican party is going to come out in a way that mike bloomberg is talking about and others are talking about, they've got to take a hard look at some of the positions they've been taking. we can't be anti-immigration, for example. immigrants are fueling this country. without immigrants, america would be like europe or japan with an aging population and no young people comin

dramatic earth shaking difference between barack obama and joe biden versus george bush and dick cheney it is a dramatic and earthshaking difference and it's hard and it's tough but the difference is real very quickly we just have one more minute left this kind of speech is this given only for international audiences because americans that are struggling with the recession right now they're not happy with the way that their country is going do they want to hear hillary talking about how we offer everything up to the rest of the world but they can't give americans jobs well they want to hear how we're going to get jobs it's a different show we could do for four hours but i will say in american politics barack obama is being criticized by republicans and the right wing for actually saying that america is not always right i mean remember he's on the attack at home because he is trying to be more honest the point is these are tough brutal issues and he is trying and to some degree succeeding and to some degree he has a lot more work to go but it took george bush eight years to never really

. >> rose: dick cheney and others. >> they had... there was this idea which blair had about this was something very important and he was right in there and he also had that instinctive desire to stick by america, which i think makes a big difference. and that's... the problem for blair in some ways is the consequences of all these things. amazingly bright, clever, articulate supreme politician is many of the things he loved most in the world-- like the desire to push middle east peace, like weirdly the european union-- he came in as one of the most pro-europe prime ministers ever. the idea of having a foreign policy which was about more than just money. he wanted to really establish goodness as he saw it. all those things. in some ways by the time he left it had all gone backwards and so it's that curse of politics all political careers end in failure >> rose: your magazine has generally been supportive of tony blair. >> we supported tony blair in not his first election but the other ones afterwards. to be honest, he built up this ne

from a lot of the cases in this at all and your sadness and other matters are not on the bench dick cheney is got a case going before the supreme court where he's been essentially prosecuted and scalia is the swing vote he goes duck hunting with scalia and they ask are you going to recuse yourself because why sure do i can do whatever a law but a landmark a body is going to that is be a lot of you say no i'm going to recuse myself in this case and probably if this were you know if this were going to be a split decision she made and of having been the swing vote i think it is there you know what i think she should follow the liberals are focusing on here she was the fact that you're saying well this is already law but if we look at the recent actions of perhaps corporations if we look at the actions of banks on wall street if we look at the actions of the government there are also two cases coming before the supreme court that to deal with the over use in my opinion of state secrets privilege is right and makes you start questioning whether just because something is a law if that means you

these men were known as james cheney, a 21-year-old man from meridian, mississippi. andrew goodman, a 23-year-old. and michael schwerner from new york. madam speaker, on july 21, 1964, the three men were driving from meridian, mississippi, to longdale, mississippi, to investigate the burning of a united methodist church, which had been the meeting place for numerous civil rights group. along their journey, they were stopped by a county deputy who was also known as a member of the ku klux klan. subsequently, the three young men were arrested for speeding and hailed at the county jail without the use of a telephone. hours later they were fined and released. shortly after the trio continued their journey, they were again pulled over by the sheriff's deputy who likely unbenongse to them was followed by a mob of klansmen who were sent to abduct and kill the men. the three were taken to a remote area of the area to be killed. their bodies were buried in an earthen dam. f.b.i. director j. edgar hoover personally selected agent roy k. moore. he had become renowned for the in

you have said yourself in this book cheney would have gone... marchd from country to country to country and part of you understood that. >> yeah. i understood that the... what he was trying to say. >> rose: and agreed with his analysis of the issue. >> well, i agree with this: that his view that was, i think, the world had to be remade as a result of september 11 and i agree that it does have to be. although i think i would do in the a different way where there's a far greater... as i say in the book, a far greater combination of hard and soft power. that's why for me, for example, the middle east peace process is a central part. >> rose: i'm going to come to that. >> that's probably where i would differ but i do say and i think it's important debate to have that for many progressives simply to dismiss the view of people like president bush's "oh, that's neoconciergive the" well, we need to be careful woof that means and what it represents. because... >> rose: there's a... chord that they say needs to be listened to? >> you need to listen to it.

. >> vice-president cheney months after this told me that when he went down to the president's emergency operations center or peoc that they gave him a yellow pad, pencil, and the tail number of every airplane that had not landed. one by one, he was able to check them off. i am sure he probably did more than that. that is all he fessed up to. >> i think it is so vital for people to understand what the stakes were. secretary chertoff used the word casually a few minutes ago, "decapitation." it was a word i have not heard in my career until then. remember how peaceful the 1990's were a broad? it is the old notion that the soviets have enough nuclear power to take out the president, vice president, speaker of the house, every member of the house and senate to decapitate the united states government. the military has drilled for this since the cold war. the decapitation programming went into place. this is how united states change that day in terms of government and military. a word most to denver heard of became terribly real -- a word that most had never heard of became terribly real in th

this resulted in a loss of respect for president bush and cheney and a loss of motivation for this war off my bumper stickers, the "god bless our troops" and "we support our troops." the third was respect for 90% of the talk-show hosts. alex jones, i respect. for instance, let me tell you what happened. i listen to christian radio a lot of the times, and one of the christians states in fremont, and i went to dr. craig roberts, i was not able to listen to him and was not able to talk to him, but the manager of capex radio told me he was not going to talk about the facts of the crime scene of 9/11, and he had instructed craig roberts and andy berlin that they were not allowed to talk about the fact of the crime scene. he said he had instructed them not to talk about the facts of the crime scene. that is sad. that shows there is very little real talk radio. the last vestige of freedom is the internet, but you know what? in spite of the fact that 9/11 is clearly shown to be an inside job, it is the prelude to the judgment day. maybe jesus will come tomorrow. is there some sort of a delay?

. >> you mean i have to lay off neo cons and dick cheney. >> neocons. >> i like these guys.ey may all be evsmile neo cons is a really descriptive adjective. it starts to become a judgment call. >> scooter, libby, can i keep naming some of these guys. >> i don't think that anyone convicted of perjury you can call a liar. >> jon stewart will not stop chris matthews of talking about scooter, libby and dick cheney. >> you are guys coming, bringing dates? >> oh yeah. we're each other's date. lawrence and i are hing down for the weekend, yeah. >> no better date i remember from the old days in the '60s it's the coolest social gathein the world. nothing like a rally in washington when the grass is green and you walk out there. the weather's great. it's fall weather in d.c. it's perfect. so i'm going to boost this thing. we're going to boost to and you know he was really tough on me one time, jon stewart. and i like him. what can i say? >> chris, i just wish that weekend go to this thing with you and norm mailer. >> well you can go with me. >> oh good enough. >> you acted irrevlently

that statement has angered conservative critics like liz cheney, who calls it an alarming fatalism that the president needs to explain. brian? >> hold that thought, because we wanted to double team this. our white house correspondent savannah guthrie is here with us in new york. because the president is at the u.n. in new york, what's going on at this days long gathering? >> this is his second meeting at the u.n. general assembly and he'll give a status report on u.s. foreign policy tomorrow with a real emphasis on what the u.s. is trying to do with these direct talks in the middle east. >> and about this book that came out, what's been the reaction considering they invited this journalist in, cooperated from the traveling white house? >> it's fascinating. on the one hand, it's probably bad or at least awkward for some individuals inside the white house because of the infighting that andrea describes. as far as the larger narrative, frankly the white house is embracing it. they think this shows a president who is in command, somebody who went through a deliberate process, leaned hard on

we're -- this is an existing elevation down here there's a chiang chain-link gate that we're talk -- cheney link gate that we're taking out and replacing that with a solid steel gate and we're doing that to address issues of security and privacy. quickly on the site plan. there's the main entry. here's the the residential dwelling over here. this area is a private yard that will never be used for outdoor events. the egress deck is over the north yard addition. this is the exterior space. there's the 22-foot sound wall and the solid feat here -- and the -- solid gate here and the courtyard. >> additional speakers in favor of the project sponsor? >> good evening. i'm -- my name is peter holtz. our goal -- first and foremost was to meet the stipulations of the alleged ordinance. to do that we had to measure the ambience, the noise environment on site. we set up meters along both streets, 18th and tennessee to monitor for 72 hours to get a general overall view of the ambient. and they we conducted short-term measurements in the back of the existing courtyard eight feet from the building to do m
