. >> on like dan, i have the liberty of saying whatever i want to say. -- been unlike da -- unlike dannswer is that i think this administration understands that this is a battle of ideas and the narratives. it has to come up with a counter-narrative to the narrative of the global islamist jihad. -- it is more less created over the last decade or so. the best proof of that is the president's speech in cairo. that speech in some ways it was addressed exactly to them. what is the narrative of the global islamist jihad? the short version is the united states is now a crusading power that is trying to impose its will on the moslem world by dividing the world up into smaller states which it can manipulate -- bids will on leave muslim world. what does barack obama say in cairo? what is his opening line? bin"we are not and imperialists colonial power. we are revolutionary state. we were born against an empire." it was a great speech. i do not think anyone disputes that. the problem is going to be following that up. the count -- the counter- narrative has to be punctuated with real things. they

dan from what you did before. that's an important point that you have to remember this is a boom right now. that basically mine as we for instant mind much of our force in 18 early 1900s. because we got rich in the process. they are basically mining their glaciers. overall, if you look at the number of people who will get water stress, about 2 billion people are water stress right now. and we didn't have global warming and just had more and more people coming to the planet as we are likely to have by the end of the century, we'll have about 3 million people water stress. but with climate change, we are going to have a more active hydrological cycle. will have about 5% more precipitation in general. we will see only 1.8 million people being water stress by the end of the center pixel on the water cycle issue we have a net benefit for the planet but it's important to say it doesn't come without a distributional impact. we will see more people water stress in southern europe, and the western u.s. but we'll see many,

the only time it affected my worked, you will remember dan quayle was the elder bush's vice-president. vice-president. he had gotten off he never shook the reputation that he was not smart. the 1992 race is heating up, and people were just in despair and panicking. a crazy idea was running around. bush should jump -- should don't quell from his ticket and pick somebody else, and that would revive his fortunes. it was a crazy idea, if for nothing else than it seeming desperate is worse than desperation. i remember the editorial conference in which we discussed this. i had just come out of a hospital and i was still in my marijuana haze. i was in the state of mind where these donor just kind of observe the world. -- the stoner just observes the world. maybe i could have put in a good word for dan quayle. >> next, a look at the life of the late senator ted kennedy. then, eric cantor and june lockhart discussed at political events and trends that were shed 2010. after that, william eggers analyzes the successes and failures of the u.s. government over the last 75 years. >> beginning monda

dan, independent line from fort scott, kansas. hi, dan. caller: hello. in copenhagen is really all about political posturing. the purpose of this whole thing is to have another way to tax everybody in the world, and i don't really believe global warming is happening. i don't think there has been a science -- enough time and science to figure that out. you know, lewis and clark in 1803, when they made their famous expedition, carried are with them the latest in scientific instruments, and one of those was what they called the thermometer. it has only been around since the 19th century, and there just hasn't been enough time for science to really figure out what's going on in the world. that's really all i wanted to say. host: let's look at the story in "the new york times" talking about the cost of climb plat negotiations and what they may bring. the short answer is trill imrons of dollars over the next few decades. it is a significant sum but a small fraction of the world's total economic output. in energy infrastructural loan, the delegations to the cli

dan is on the republican line. caller: i want to tell a personal story. it has to do with what you talked about earlier with immigration. a year ago, i was laid off from a job in the construction field. i thought the immigrants were taking my jobs. i thought i would try to play their game. i went down to main street for three days and stood on the corner and watched american people, homeowners and small business owners, stopping by and picking up the immigrants. they left me standing there. part of the problem may be the american people think of ourselves as being lazy, as not wanting to work. i have one comment to make. awhile back, the politicians were making comments about the economy. all we're hearing about now is health care. that is all i have to say. guest: we spent more time in the senate recently debating the health care bill than we did the entry into world war ii v. the only time the senate spent more time debating was the entry into world war i. i hate to tell you this but the senators are out to lunch. jim benning lives for hearings with ben

and dan on the republican line. del rey, west virginia, you are on the upp we want -- on the air.ied. -- barry. i started out when bush got elected as a republican. i used to support the republican party, red, white, and blue. now i started leaning more towards democratic in the last seven or eight years. host: what is causing that? caller: i used to believe so hard, and then the war started be -- the more i started reading and getting into things, i did not know what to believe. now i just stay away from all parties and all politics. i don't really know what is good at what is bad any more. they are pretty much the same to me. host: a look at "the baltimore sun" this month, a look at closing gitmo. "civil libertarians criticized obama on indefinite jailing." this is a tribune story in "the baltimore sun." "president obama began 2000 with a pledge to close the guantanamo prison and restored due process and the core constitutional values that he said made this country great. buf his administration has set up a will two-pronged legal policy for the remaining guantanamo prisoners tha
