to draw an analogy is as if someone in 1588 viewed the first great play christopher's tabler land and on the spot frequented the great of the new era in the popular theater of england. lindsay calls this parable. faced with the towering achievement in the movie intolerance, lindsay pulls out all stops that d.w. griffith is the byron of the films, but certainly as magnificent and since he is the first of its kind, all i am willing to name him. just as marlo did in the theater, d.w. griffith and the motion picture industry was the first to reveal the artistic medium while at the same time scoring an unprecedented commercial success. what i find so extraordinary is the we've lindsay, writing when the films were being released singles out as masterpiece is precisely the works that film critics to this day hold up as the triumph of the early cinema, birth of a nation in tolerance. to be sure, lindsay praised his many works that do not appear today on anybody's list of the 100 greatest movies of all time. sometimes the movies he talks about simply no longer exist. reading the book is like a

my name is christopher sands pan am senior fellow hudson and it is my great pleasure today to introducehael chertoff, who was the main speaker and also anne mclellan who was on her way, still coming down from canada. she says it is the americans' fault that they want the land, not so much the canadian's fault because they wouldn't let her leave despite the weather but hopefully she will have-- joyner's mitt program. michael chertoff is among many of you know. he is today chairman and managing principle of the chertoff group a security risk management advisory firm with offices in washington d.c. and new york for good judge chertoff is senior counsel at covington llp washington d.c. office and a member of the white-collar defense in investigations practice group. most recently mr. chertoff served as secretary of the department of homeland security as secretary he led a 218,000 person department with a budget of $50 billion. mr. chertoff's developed into month security promulgated homeland security regulation and spearheaded in national cybersecurity. he also served on the national securi

[applause] >> our next panelist is lance christopher. despite having been raised in d.c.our time. initially, economic regulation -- it was believed business was not viable. in the '50s and '60s, when we had debates between keynesian, this thing called the d.c. back tax -- it is social engineering. it has changed from economic engineering to social engineering. those in the white house and the presidency say this is economic policy. this is social engineering. if it happens here, it can happen anywhere across the country. the original young americans for freedom -- as soon as we heard about the d.c. back tax, we went into action. we went on campuses. we are continuing to fight this. it was said to clean up the anacostia river, even though the majority of the pollution does not consist of plastic bags. they take 2 cents and give it to businesses. it taxes families, and students. it discourages consumption. it discourages entrepreneurs. if we let this happen here, politicians will say it is the federal government and we always follow the federal government. we do not know wh

feedback is been getting from republican colleagues since thursday when he agreed to try to work with christopherdodd on a bill to regulate financial services. guest: it is unpleasant. i have not tried to talk to a large number of people. i talked to a few. i have really good friends on the committee that i spend time with not just professionally but socially. it is not pleasant. senator dodd came forth in november when negotiations broke down. senator dodd came to the committee markup with a partisan bill. i urged him publicly not to do that. let's create a bipartisan bill. he acquiesced. he stayed up on a saturday night. we set up a team where democrats and republicans teamed up, working on the sections of the bill. it is broken down. judd gregg and jack reed are moving along well. we are almost there. the doodd and shelby teams broke down thursday night. that is where both sides are. i feel like there is no reason the we cannot go forward. is a question of whether you want to try to get to no or fly against a yes. that is what i have been standing. if we cannot pass a bipartisan regulation bil

also, we saw this week a chairman, christopher dodd, complaining that the white house wasn't taking hisdvice about how to push financial reform. he said these political sounding attacks on banks were not helping. >> you know, we're finding in l.a. last night. and where we go, a lot of democrats, a lot of obama supporters are very frustrated. they want him to do just what al franken wants him to do. take control. take charge. tell people what you believe, and go after it instead of sitting back and allowing 435 people in the house and 100 people in the senate to frame the debate. >> unbelievably, we're seeing the same thing on the jobs bill. the president on the state of the union says that jobs was job one for him and yesterday you have senate democratic leaders coming out in this inexplicable news conference saying they will do a bunch of little jobs bills. they don't know what it will be. >> seriously? >> they hand reporters 2 1/2 pages of talking points. year two? come on. >> it really is unbelievable that they did strike down the path again with the jobs bill, where, again, the pres

lying on a gurney aboard the u.s., a woman asked christopher, where do you come from? what country? after my operation, she said, i will pray for that country. and in cruel, he responded the united states of america. god's grace, and the compassion and decency of the american people is expressed through the men and women like carmen wishart. it is expressed to the efforts of our armed forces, through the efforts of our entire governme government. through similar efforts of spain and other countries around the world. it's also as secretary clinton said expressed through multiple faith-based efforts. by evangelicals, by the american jewish world service, by hindu temples and mainland protestant, catholic relief services, african-american churches, the united states. by americans of every faith and no faith, uniting around a common purpose, a higher purpose. it's inspiring. this is what we do as americans in times of trouble. we unite, recognizing that such crises call on all of us to act, recognizing that there but for the grace of god go us. recognizing that life's most sacred respon

lord goldsmith was preparing with the assistance of christopher greenwood for the possibility of legalchallenge. he'd known he'd taken a position that many others perhaps were arguing with or were going to argue with. and he had put something to you that was described as a reasonable case but nevertheless not one that he would have confidently put before a court. you then had to decide whether you were convinced that that this was a strong enough legal basis to take a very serious action of participating in a full scale invasion of another country. how convinced were you at this point of that strong -- that you had a strong legal case for doing what you did? >> i would put it in this way. what i needed to know from him was in the end was he going to say was this lawful. he had to come to a conclusion in the end. and i was a lawyer myself. i wrote many, many opinions for clients. and he this end to be on the one hand and on the other hand but you come to a conclusion at the end. and he had to come to that conclusion. and he wasn't along for coming to that conclusion for very obvious rea
