something like that, and, i went with my buddy, don oliver and we went over and hung around outside and clarktually came to work with me in the white house, pulitzer prize winner, "des moines register," had gotten an award and was talking there and i was awed and here was a great journalist and we talked to him and i went to almost all of them i think when i was with richard nixon and with ronald reagan i was communications director. i was at those and i have been to some since then, but, recent years, though i am with msnbc, i sort of figured i have done my duty over there and now it has become a celebrity event. i don't really have a problem with the idea that the people get too chummy with the president of the u.s. look, theat is night conservatie answer your and the president mentioned last night, we passed health care and it could have been the democratic caucus and a huge roar went up, in nixon's days, 5 8 -- 85 to 90% of the journalist, voted for mcgovern and 8 % of white folks in d.c., and washington is obama's town and, in journalism, it is his community but i don't have a problem wi

in closing i will use my favorite quote from john henry clark and i know that irene dory irene heighthistory is the clock people use to tell their time of day. it tells them who they are and what they are. it helps them find themselves on the map of human geography. those who live their lives well know that is what they do every day that writes the history of of tomorrow. dorothy irene height wrote a lot of history and allowed us to germany with her on the road. like you, i will miss our good friend. like you, corporate america, will miss her, too. [applause] >> we have heard a portrait of a great woman this evening. we have heard she never lost the common touch. i was so honored at the award because there isn't a common bone and dorothy height. she had an uncommon collection of hats and i have not worn a hat in 20 years but i have one on tonight.

[laughter] [applause] she was uncommonly burly and with an uncommon photographic memory and sense

and and the dril-quip rep -- i am not sure, a question came up, as i recall, and don clark went up to the drill fuller. around the same time, i started seeing that much had started to come -- that mudd had started coming out of sowhere in the raid floor. i'm not sure where. at the first site, i was not sure it was mud. after a little while, i could not recognize the smell. hydraulic oil is pretty noticeable. i am not sure what it was. another roustabout that was with me had been working on other offshore rigs. he pretty much told me we're having alowout. , not having the experience, i was like, let's see what will come about. as we were sitting there, seeing what was happening, what the drill floor was when to do, we noticed more and more mud coming out. it seemed that it stopped for a while, very briefly. then, it came out with much force. it was a much louder noise. the was a lot more coming out. even mud flowing out of the rig floor. at that point,, we moved as far away back as we could. after that, the lights went out. when the lights went out, the first explosion happened. i was

clark and i have been shouting this from the rooftops and no one will pay attention to us but something terrible is free to happen. sure enough to years later there was september 11th. >> host: and that comes out in the book, it comes out in the 9/11 commission report as they were assessing the tidbits coming in, george tenet with his hair on fire remember that an allergy. knowing something was going to happen but not having a the time, date, please kind of thing, the hardest part of information to get >> guest: it really is. and i think people inside the agency convinced them the attack wouldn't be inside the united states. we believe that the time they didn't have the wherewithal to attack us here domestically. >> guest: >> host: so then you became everybody rallied around after the event to figure out what does one have to do to stop the possibility of a follow-on attack. >> guest: right. like every that deals in the building i volunteered to go to afghanistan. of course they were only taking people with special forces experience at the time and yet come from the analytics side. i di

he said clark and i, a national security, we have been shopping this from the rooftops and no one will pay attention to us. but something terrible was went to happen. and if the jury enough, two months later there was september 11. >> host: and that comes out of clark's's book and the 9/11 commission report as they were assessing the tidbits coming in. george tenet with his hair on fire, knowing something was going to happen but not having the time, date, place kind of thing. the hardest part of the information to get. >> guest: it really is. and i think people inside need to convince themselves to attack wouldn't be in sight of the united states. i think we believe that the time they didn't have the wherewithal to attack us here domestically. >> host: well it just -- seven you became everybody rallied around after the yvette to figure out what does one have to do to stop the possibility of a follow-on attack. >> guest: writes like everybody else in the building i volunteered to go to afghanistan of course they were only taking people with special forces experience of the time and and

and they paid, initially, $2,000 for lewis and clark to go westward.this ended up costing the extraordinary sum of $36,000. but this was filling -- by nature, we are explorers. if we ever give up that characteristic, we will be a second-rate nation. this is no longer westward, this is up. and as he was talking about -- we are inquisitive and curious. look at what the telescope has done. this is going back to the history of the universe. we will be able to go back to the origin of the universe. is this valuable to us, as an inquisitive people? and as citizens of planet earth? i believe that this and ask a question of dr. augustine? dr. augustine, this goes without saying. thank you for your steady hand, i have heard about the strong opinions by these american heroes. the committee that you are had it -- you are in charge of was across the entire spectrum of aerospace. and this included the military as well. and this included some astronauts. can you describe how this administration and their plan, and you can say how this has been amended, as the presid

one is doing the undoable in the physical exploration sense, lewis and clark. you two gentlemen, what you did has caught the world and the world's heart stopped. but you know what also stopped, in 1878 i think, when sir isaac newton came to open a new medical university called johns hopkins. and he said that in the 2000 years previous to that date, there have been no advances in medicine at all. during the civil war diseases were thought to come from outside of the body which is why compresses were constantly being applied to wounds, but not necessarily disease that comes from inside the body which we now know to be different. he did something and johns hopkins did something. in those days there was no federal funding for research of any sort. this was 125 years ago. there is no federal funding for medical research at all. there were no requirements. harvard had medical, stanford had a medical school. you even had to have a high school diploma to get into a medical school, much less a college degree. so they took ewan taught you nothing. what johns hopkins did,
