if any of you have been there and stood on custer hill you may have experienced what i did. you looked to the south and you see this string of white crosses coming across in your direction. you are almost on the top. almost at a place where a person might be able to determine the military underneath the attack. and sometimes in dozens or scores. it comes very real. looking over the countryside you see roughly what custer would have seen or the indians attacking him would have seen. the biggest change is a railroad line and a lawn that railroad line, several times a day a gigantic train leaves from montana heading towards south carolina or west virginia to create electricity. when there is no train on the rise and everything looks the way it looked at an earlier time. if you look down and the winding river you are likely to see a lot of horses that belonged to the pro scouts who came to that site with custer and that actually inherited the battlefield. it is very immediate and at that point i started thinking about it. writing a book about the killing of crazy horse required

there basically three iconic events in the history of the west of the imagination one of those is custer's last in the other is the alamo in the other is the gunfight at the o.k. corral. why? do we really need another book at the o.k. corral? >> guest: why we need another book, the reviews so far they were written by critics do not consider themselves expert of tombstone or the gunfight or the american frontier. all claiming it is a book of revisionist history by which they mean it is shocking to them that these things in the book are fact. one reviewer said he was stunned to learn that the battle did not occur in the okay corral but in a vacant lot yards away. i think we can thank bill breckinridge -- breckinridge and others for that but trying to write later about the gunfight it does not have the same ring throughouthroughou t history. [laughter] and people also seem to be astonished instead of talking about cardboard cutout participants but real human beings in good qualities and losses. everyone seems staggered that tombstone may have been anything other than an a dusty hamlet. the fa

one is custer's last stand and the other is the alamo and certainly the third is the gunfight at the o.k. corral. the question is why? >> there are obvious reasons we need another book on the gunfight at the o.k. corral. books written by critics who don't consider themselves expert in the subject of tombstone or the gun fight for the american frontier. all the claiming that it is a book of revisionist history by which they mean it is shocking to them that these things in the book are not actually effect. one reviewer said he was stunned to learn that the battle didn't actually occur in the o.k. corral but in a vacant lot some yards away. i think we can thank bill breckinridge and stuart lake and some others for that. trying to write later about the gunfight at the vacant lot near but not at the o.k. corral doesn't have the same ring throughout history. people also seem to be astonished that instead of talking about cardboard cutout participants we are talking about real human being, men of their time to have good qualities and some flaws. everyone seems staggered by the fact that tom

it is context i want to know that the former under secretary general of the united nations antonio custer who was responsible for the drug problem mention. that in two thousand and eight to two thousand and nine in the midst of the global financial crisis. three hundred fifty two billion u.s. dollars from selling drugs were pumped into the world's leading banks this means that a certain global level determines all sets the demand for drugs turnover and ultimately a political order for this production. runs. out. as far as the withdrawal from afghanistan is concerned the picture is unclear so far it was said that a withdrawal would start and certain parameters for it had been set a bench and thirty thousand troops by the end of the year but when i was in washington last september they were talking about the need to increase the military contingent in afghanistan exactly by thirty thousand now i plan to return these thirty cells and so in fact nothing has changed i think of the world community and you can disagree with beginning to consider the situation in afghanistan because there were se

supposed to be a witness in his trial but in the end me in about thirty other witnesses was simply custer side they didn't call us didn't ask what happened to our families and the tribunal only gave him two years in prison. the balkan war so heinous atrocities visited on all sides and perpetrated by all players but the version most often propagated by western media is rather one sided in blaming the serbs the purpose is to set the stage and create a rationale for so-called humanitarian interventions which in the occurred in considerable number of the math in it so that so-called precedent can be traced through the years and into today's headlines bosnia iraq afghanistan and most recently libya have all played unwilling hosts to nato troops and u.s. imposed no fly zones but it is very important in the creation of the. scenario to make sure that in the minds of most people. was drawn aside which was preventable but for whatever reasons the so-called international community didn't do anything about it. some might say the journey from severing its it to benghazi via baghdad and kabul could no

this was custer's last band. it turns out i did have this. this is about the last time that this has happened. >> the photographs that you have taken, exposed the most people. the most historic photograph. >> the photograph that is closest to my heart, probably has been exposed the most, this is hard to tell. this is the one that i took from the air of the world trade center, absolutely pristine, no boats in the water, nothing. and they fell two months later. this has been a perfect image, of new york and the world trade center. and this is absolutely spotless. i am just thrilled that i took this, and this was a good day for that. >> what are you looking forward to? >> i cannot wait to get started. just let me go, let me capture this for as long as i live. >> and what is the next stage? >> i will go back to alabama. and we will move forward with the whole plan in place. i believe it will be alabama, and they're ready to send me how with the historic buildings. i will go back at least once a year. until we actually get the sponsor in place, i

one of them is custer's last stand and the other is the alamo and certainly the third is the gunfightthe o.k. corral. the question is why. do we really need another book about the gunfight at that o.k. corral? >> there is evidence for why we need another book on the gunfight at the o.k. corral. the reviews that appeared about the book so far is they have been written by critics who don't consider themselves experts in the subject of tinstone are the gun fight or the american frontier. all are claiming that it is a book of revisionist history by which they mean is just shocking to them that these things in the book are actually fact. one reviewer said he was stunned to learn that the battle did not actually occur in the o.k. corral but in a vacant lot some yards away. i think we can thank bill breckinridge and stuart lake and some others for that. i think trying to write letter about the gunfight at the vacant lot near, but not at the o.k. corral doesn't have the same ring throughout history. [laughter] people also seem to be as honest that is that talking about cardboard cutout partic

we believe the custer miswant to customize their order for their own orders and their own taste and nutritionalt is wrong with that >> that is a great statement. consumers need to rely on the calories to guide their choices and then they have to make sure it doesn't give them a license to clean their plate. they still have to make sure when they are feeling full to stop eating. i do think that that is what a lot of people get in trouble with. they see the number and they just clean their plate. but the restaurants do have responsibility to make sure that that data is act rate -- accurate. >> i just want to eat good food and enjoy it. lever my alone. >> it would be wrong to get color on the plate to help with the healthcare costs. >> eat vegetables, is that it? >> yes. >> i do. so now get off my back. rebecca, a pleasure. thank you for joining us. >> appreciate it. >> in one hour on the fox business network. presidential candidate ron paul tells us why no matter what the debt plan, no matter what passes we will still default. on my fox business network show tomorrow morning, congressman allen we

you get to the final moments and virgil hurt --earp has that moment like what custer had when he goton to the ridge and fall these indians or travis had when he realized nobody was coming to save him at the alamo. virgil says i don't mean that. what does that tell us about how this event happened? >> i will repeat that i think something was bound to happen. whether it was going to involve these specific individuals or others there was too much tension and too much mistrust. james earp said there was a certain amount of pressure on virgil by some of the townspeople that none of this would have occurred. i liked virgil a lot and i felt sorry for him. i think he tried hard to be a good lawmen. in the eyes of average americans today the gunfight at the o.k. corral involved why at her, doc holliday and the clintons. seems virgil and morgan have been bumped into the background as have tom and frank mcclowey. virgil preferred giving people a chance to back away without embarrassing them or having their pride intact. he did his best that day to lead the cowboys settle down and write out of t

>> now know, that is coming from john mccain whose campaign might be compared to custard, except custer's out better than mccain's did. in 2012 a conservative will be elected so i think that will speak for itself. his his brand was she lacks in 2007 within 2008. mine won the house of representative by record numbers in 2010. >> yeah, but now your brand of conservative is told, get your butts in line. don't get too big for yourself. because you've done your job. you're saving the corporate jet guys. you're closing in making sure to protect the loops holes. now just shut up and let us handle it, we've got movies it watch. thank you judson phillips. thank you for being here with me. >> thank you for having me. >> hosts of the bill press show on sirius radio, gentlemen, it is quite interesting, looks like mr. boehner is trying to get a little tough. he is feeling the squeeze. particularly when we see the cbo report come out and say, his numbers don't add up. how do you deal with the fact? that mr. boehner comes out in front of whole country, what a plan. opposing senator reid's plan, and the

it's driven by a large part on what makes sense financially and what makes sense for our custers and the communities that we support. we do feel that we are still very relevant to the american public and the american economy, but we also have to make some pretty tough choices as we work through some of the financial issues that we face. >> sreenivasan: post offices that close would likely be replaced by mail services in local stores, public libraries, or government offices. the postal service has already cut about 130,000 jobs, and slashed costs by $12 billion over the last four years. democratic congressman david wu of oregon announced he is resigning after the debt ceiling vote. the seven-term congressman has been accused of having an unwanted sexual encounter with the teenage daughter of a campaign contributor. wu has said whatever happened was consensual, but democratic leaders called for a house ethics investigation. wu said resigning is in the best interests of his family. those are some of the day's major stories. now, back to gwen. >> ifill: and to the massacre in norway. aut

meant the kind of greeting that the indians gave the pilgrims at plymouth rock or the cheney gave to custer at little bighorn. [laughter] >> and i'll stop there because that was my big step. on being able to stand in front of a group dripping wet, no makeup and what makeup was there was sliding down my face and pulling it doting. and having the electricity go out this morning at 2:00 it's nothing compared to what i've been through in the past. [laughter] >> as miss oklahoma, suddenly you're thrust into the spotlight not only as a representative of the state but as we all know a lot of times with native people, once we're put in the spotlight we're suddenly asked to represent all native people. how did you balance that? i mean, how did you become an advocate for native people but without, you know, taking on that representative of the whole? >> well, i think mainly because i probably never felt really normal. and so i never -- well, really, if you read the book and see how i grew up, it's hard to think of myself being normal. so it's really -- i can't speak for other people because i'm not n

wild west show his indians could fight custody will then join buffalo bills wildlife show to fight custerin the every now. and before wanted it, which buffalo bills. you know, it is point, you can tell the reality of the fiction. so my larger point about the west is you can demythologizing and you'll never get your heart out. these stories are really about the last essential america. they are about you can reimagine yourselves, begin again, that there is a place and that you can go, which is untouched, utterly mythical. you can be the first person they are. all these things play very deeply in the american site. you know, when we talk about genre is, there's no southern. there's no midwestern. it begins to encapsulate this whole set. the last thing i ever wanted to. you know, it's wonderful. it really does capture what it was like in the territory in the 1880s. but it's really after much larger things. >> one of the great iconic western of liberty bell and said the single most memorable line from the film comes to the very ends, with a newspaper is when the truth becomes the legend. and t

buffalo bill's wild west show, indians joined buffalo bill's wild west show up to fight custer on stage and in the arena. before wounded knee, which buffalo bill will go out and sell for the army, indians were some of those that fought at wounded knee. at this point who can tell the reality and fiction. it just goes back and forth. my larger point about the west is, you can demythologize the west all you want. you will never get it. really about not so much the west. there are about this says that you can read imagine yourself, you can begin again. there is a place that you can go which is untouched. all this is utterly magical. a place that is on touched or you can be the first person there. all of these things play very deeply into the american psyche. no wonder. we talk about john rest. note midwestern, this whole said. so what i do, i love westerns. a lasting never want to do, i want to go see it. it is wonderful. it really does capture something. it captures what it was like an indian territory in the 1880's. probably not. much larger. >> as you well know, the man he shot liberty v

west show is indians who had fought oscar within joined buffalo bill bill's wild west show to fight custerin onstage and in the arena. and before wounded knee which buffalo bill will go out and scout for the army, indians the buffalo bills one bushel of some of the indians who fight. at this point who can tell the reality and fiction? it just goes back and forth. my larger point is you can demythologizing the west all you want. you will never get at the heart of these stories. these stories are really about not so much the west. they are about america. they're about to send that you can reimagine yourself. you can begin again. that there's a place in fact that you can go which is untouched. all of this is utterly out a place that is untouched where you could be the first person there. all of these things play very deeply into the american psyche. it's no wonder, when we talk about genres there's a western. best-of-seven. there's no midwestern. it begins to in catholic this whole set of hopes. i love west's. the last thing i'd want to. i don't want to see "true grit" and say no. it's wonder

it's the same moment that i imagine customer -- imagine custer. he says hold, i don't mean that. what does that tell us about how the whole event happened? >> i think something happened. whether it was going to be involve this or other, there was too much tension and too much mistrust. james said later, he thought there was some put on by the townspeople. he thought none of this would have occurred. i liked virgil a lot. i ended up feeling sorry for him. i think he tried very hard to be a good law man. in the eyes of average americans today, the gunfight at the okay corral involved wyatt, doc holiday, and morgan. it seens to me james and tom and frank have been bumped into the back. virgil wanted to be a good law man.

america not to certify these huge class actions because once they do, it is for a defendant like custers last stand. the checkbook has to come out because you certify a class and you're going to be in for a real problem. i would expect that the plaintiffs' bar will go to congress to try to overrule that case. they did that with led bether but i don't think they'll be successful here. the individuals can bring smaller and their own cases if they wish. and if they've been discriminated against there's enough there for an individual case. then the puzzle, i was thinking about this this morning because the tv is filled with this casey anthony case and probably every american can give you an opinion on it. but to 70% of americans who take drugs know that they will no longer be able to bring a lawsuit if they take a generic. and the supreme court held that preempletion applies with generic drugs. why is that true? well, two years ago they said if you take a brand name drug you can bring a tort suit. the tort law is the engine for safety and there's no preempletion. well, with brand drug compan
