you said you had been during the clinton administration, returned during the first year of the obama administration but it was not the same gsa you left. i want to agree with you because i believe that when you theft clinton administration and returned after the first year of the obama administration, you would have been joining an administration that had a completely different culture than the clinton administration. a different culture than the bush administration. this is an administration that believe when's government spending is occurring, when taxpayers' dollars are spent that jobs are being created. that was the crux of the stimul stimulus, i voted and many voted against. because the american people actually believe that when taxpayers' dollars are being spent that debt is being created. now, i have some examples of that spending that gsa was doing. mr. foley, you said you weren't aware that the tuxes were paid for by the taxpayers. this is one of those examples of gsa spending miss johnson under your leadership. includes the conference logo and everyone was given one of these

get the clinton administration part 3. if you feel it was such a crisis and panic at that time as many say it was coming out of the calamitous bush administration into the tar, bringing in a team of rivals as obama talked about, all you had was larry summers and tim geithner. both of them have their control over the policies that led to the crisis. in my mind, that opened the door to the tea party. it opened the door to right-wing populism. people saw in this white house favoritism towards goldman sachs and the banks. the problem was the left populism has not emerged until now. for too long, many felt with the bomb in the white house that things would be sorted out. that is where movements become important. every administration in modern times has had to deal with insurgency's or movements on its left and right. reagan in many ways was a movement president. i say that with contempt for what he did in damage to this country. you need to see the pendulum has now swung. the tea party in many ways has lost a lot of this mojo be

this was a departure from the approach of both the clinton administration and the bush administration which held to the regan doctrine that a hungry child knows no politics. it also led to a highly embarrassing reversal on the food aid decision following the missile launch, even as administration officials insisted that there was no direct linkage between food assistance and the failed negotiations. our distinguished panel of experts can shed light today on whether succession from the old kim to the young kim has really changed anything in north korea, or is it merely an old kim in a new uniform? further, there is the pressing issue of how we should respond to the possible -- to future provocation, including another nuclear test. we also wish to examine how we should go forward in addressing the simmering north korean crisis, a rogue state in possession of nuclear weapons working on delivery capability, engaged in murky proliferation activities with opponents of the united states, in the middle east, and south asia. the young general at sunday's military parade gave every indication t

this got up to the level of the top level of the clinton administration -- i guess it was the clinton administration. and there's a time -- i think it's like in 2025 -- this has to happen or idaho will no longer be obligated to receive this waste. so this has implications. the fact that we're just letting this thing go on and on and on, i think, is a big mistake. and i was here. i voted for this. to go -- to do it at yucca mountain. and i think that's the law of the land. it hasn't been changed. i think you're going to wind up -- i think the courts -- i can't believe the courts are going to sustain your position. so you better start looking at these alternatives. you better start figuring out how you're going to get yucca mountain moving forward. you just can't declare something at the executive branch that it's no longer the law. you got to come to congress and get the law changed. that hasn't happened. >> well, that was another very important recommendation in the blue ribbon commission. it is really up to congress if congress wants to change the law, and we would be willing to work

i remember during the clinton administration, there was some leaking about the first lady hurled a lampt the president, and that came from the secret service. and so i think there are some questions here of trust between agents and the people they protect. but this is a huge year coming up, with presidential candidates. we have a lot of visiting dignitaries. this is a big comparesment. but i don't know that this is stemmatic for the whole secret service. >> i hope not. >> when they're on the president's dime, they're avoiding in this way and prostitution is legal where they were, and why didn't they just pay the woman who called herself an escort? >> $800. >> pay her the money she asked for and he agreed to. >> 220? >> yes. and it took that long for america's finest to figure out they had a problem, once the police came. police were on the side of the prostitutes, because it's a legal profession there. so i mean, how dumb can anybody get if they paid the money, we wouldn't be talking about this right now! >> money talks! >> right. >> this is not my field. >> what do you mean it's not yo

hopkins university had a group of people come in, mostly from the previous administrations, the clinton administration, the herbert walker bush administration, and they did an analysis they ended up describing as dark winter where they theorized the placing of small pox in three locations in the united states, major metropolitan hubs with air terminals, and within a year it concluded, this independent study concluded that there would be more than a million americans dead as a result of that, not a nuclear attack, not a chemical attack, but in effect a biological attack and not a complicated one, not something that takes a lot of money or a lot of skill sets. imagine a million people. imagine our country if the goal of terrorism is to terrorize and alter your behavior, imagine what the behavior pattern would have been in our country. there would be marshal law. you would have people guarding state boundaries to try to avoid. when i grew up, if you had small pox or chickenpox or measles they put a quarantine sign on your house and you weren't allowed to go out and no one was allowed to go in your house.

the authors of the report who served as the national security director for asia during the clinton administration. thinking very much for joining us. here you have two world powers with many shared interests, so what is causing the mistrust? and why do you think it will be long term? >> it is really mistrust about long-term intentions. both sides want to work together. both sides constantly stressed the need for cooperation, and they are serious, but we're in a period where the balance of world power is shifting. very, very different political systems. in fact, neither of us really understand the domestic and political constraints of the other side. china has had a tough historical experience, so they do not view the international arena as a friendly place, especially with regard to the west, so while each side wants to move ahead and have a relationship, each worries that that is not going to be feasible, and each has reached an analytical inclusion. it is not even emotional. but they see things on the other side that cause them to worry, and that war itself presents bad outcomes. >> you say tha
