and we'll start with richard nixon here and sammy davis, jr. >> absolutely. this is -- this is -- any photo with richard known is comical, you know, when you have a hollywood star standing next to richard known. he was never really comfortable in front of the camera and so he has this sort of fascination of being surrounded by celebrities. and this particular picture has got some historic significance because sammy davis, jr. was disinvited by frank sinatra who produced the show which was surprising to me. but it was his interracial marriage that was at stake and politically they decided that wasn't going to be the best thing for the country to see at the inauguration. >> in your book you say si-nat came jfk an honorary member of the rat pack? >> sinatra did that. jfk was one of our most charismatic presidents. you have to really sort of count him even more charismatic than say a ronald reagan who was an actor. and, you know, he was not only a member of the rat pack but peter lawford, who's on the cover, was in the rat pack and married into the kennedy family

so he invited sammy davis jr. into the white house, set him up at the queen's bedroom and really kind of made it a night to remember. and that became, as far as the research that i pulled up at the library in the national archives, the first african-american to be a guest at the white house. >> we've got three more here, let's go to the next one, and it's pretty iconic, and i think most folks have seen this one. this is richard nixon and elvis presley. >> sure. again, a great photo of elvis and nixon, the most-requested photo from the national archives which out of -- when you think that everything that the national archives keeps in storage, this is the one that people want to see the most over the years. >> now, is it true that elvis had asked richard nixon to allow him to carry a badge of some sort? i've heard this story many times. >> he did. he was very concerned of the hippie culture at the time and wanted, he actually rolled his limousine right up to the west gate at the white house and asked the guard to s

there were six other people with miles davis. john coltrane, julian "cannon ball" adder lee, wynton kelley on bass, paul chambers, also -- bill evans and wynton kelley were pianists, paul chambers, bass, jimmy cobb the drummer, made musical history and changed the artistic landscape of this country and in some ways, the world. at the congressional black caucus, the event of this past september, we honored the only living artist of that recording date, jimmy cobb, the drummer. who was there and who performed, as a matter of fact. it was a great time and a great event that occurred 50 years ago and the reason that it was great was that each one of these artists, coltrane, adderley, davis, bill evans, wynton kelley, paul chambers and jimmy cobb, all became musical leaders in their own right and they were experimenting. they were, what was once call be-bop, now progressive jazz, then went on to -- some went on to mortal jazz, which i'm still finding out what that's all about. they usually take chords of a song, sometimes a ballad or

[laughter] >> is pete davis here? >> p. davis. does any of the war in iraq and afghanistan over the next two years help very much? >> somebody want to take that? alice? >> any decrease in spending helps. but the long run deficits are not being driven by military spending, and we assume that the war will eventually be over and that the military spending will come back down. but even if it continued, the real drivers of spending in the future are medicare and medicaid, and to a lesser extent, social security. >> there's a question in the back that are. >> thank you. i am nicole. you just mentioned medicare and medicaid. i would like to ask a related question. what type of contributor to the debt is our private health care costs, and if we are able to reduce our private health care costs, how would that affect the federal debt in the future? >> i think the short answer is that the growth in medicare and medicaid share some common elements with the growth in private health care costs. and to the extent we get reforms that slow the gro

governor gray davis was kicked out of office. how did such a bill become law? that is where the process gets really scary. why? because it was an exemplary process. they had hearings and meetings and visited other jurisdictions with bipartisan cooperation. they worked until late at night. they did such a good job at the law passed unanimously, 98-0. as you know, nothing passes california legislature unanimously. nobody voted against it. the problem was the legislation. they did not design it to work in the real world. they thought there were crafting a bill that could pass, and they wanted to see as many votes as they could get. they put in a lot of stuff to make everybody happy. the problem was, the different parts did not work together in the system. the design would not hold up. california's electricity deregulation points to a big factor behind many governments failures. it actually lies at the design space. the. only 16% said the federal government actually designs policies that can be implemented. similar results when we surveyed members of a senior execu

we heard from peter davis this on about elections in iraq and brazil and elsewhere. you're going to be taken up with your own campaigns. are there any lessons you think you could pick up from other campaigns that have just been fought around the world, and what trends you see anywhere else. >> if you look at south america, maybe there's a lesson there. i know we saw the bolivian elections. take a look at what happened in your guy last week and the election of -- of a traditionally leftist one-time terrorist gorilla individual who then remade himself committed to the voters of that country, that he saw himself in the -- in the fashion of governing like in brazil, not like chavez in venezuela and i don't think anyone was surprised at the outcome of that election and contrary to maybe some of the trends in europe and elsewhere. . . economic standpoint that will recognize human rights and the defense of those rights, i do think those are some themes that perhaps can produce a somewhat different way. somewhat different way. again, very much grounded, we like to call in vi

and i'm honored to serve with susan davis, military personnel backup families.l, the president set july 2011 as when the u.s. troops will begin to redeploy out of afghanistan. is this a conditions-based target that will be ajust if the afghan security forces or afghan government is not ready? is the process conditions based? and what are those conditions? >> sir, i view it is a solid decision the president has made. and i operate under the assumption that we will begin to decrease our forces beginning in july of 2011. but i do that in the context that the president is also providing the people of afghanistan a long-term strategic partnership, a guarantee that we are going to be partners with them over the long haul and help them continue to protect their security and their sovereignty. i think that while everything is conditions based,ive think it will be informed by conditions we're about to put 30,000 more americans and additional coalition forces and go hard at this insurgency over the next 18 months, between now and june 2011. my expectation is, the insurgen

gray davis was kicked out of office. so how did such a badly designed bill become law?where the process gets really scary. why? because it was an exemplary process. they had hearings and meetings and they visited other jurisdictions. there was bipartisan cooperation. their work until late at night. they did such a good job that the law passed unanimously. as you know, nothing passes california legislature unanimously. no one voted against it. so what was the problem? legislation. they did not design it to work in the real world. they crafted a bill that could pass. they wanted to get as many votes as they could get. but the different parts did not work together as a system. the design would not hold up to the likes of enron. california's electricity deregulation points to a big factor behind a lot of government failures. it lies at the design phase. only 16% saying that government designs policies that can be a implemented. if you want to get a federal senior executive really going and reanimated, which is not always easy, all you need to do is ask them about the policy

like davy crockett and that killed in a bear when he was only 3, she built her computer from scratchduring the worst part of this time. they have cell phones and they have twitter account . ñrshe was treating the whole, -- tweeting the whole time. the cops are aware of it and a teller to turn off theres -- her cellphone. they do not know what you can be doing if you are punching, you know. all lot of them have twitter accounts. they cannot use them like we do. as far as i know, she has a constant stream of on her blond. but she does not actually send a tweet. when someone gets a text message, they have to put it on. someone dedicates it to english. this number if they have around the world of solidarity -- this relationship they have around the world of solidarity, that would be how i would address that. >> i would say the cost is still an issue. some dissidents were telling me that cellphone use is still costly for the average cuban. when the government opened the consumer sales of cell phones, there were charging to register for a plan $160. they were telling me thatñr for- that th

for decades ever since the supreme court decided washington versus davis -- responsible government authority intended the injury and discrimination that resulted from their policy and practices. it is hard enough to know what i intend and difficult to assert what another person intends but virtually impossible to prove the intent underlying a particularly injury is policy or practice of government entities such as a public school system or juvenile correctional authority. in the next issue of the law journal you will see an article i co-authored with dr. con which i know you have won and analyzed, an offer they can't refuse. racial disparity and juvenile justice and deliberate indifference meat alternatives that work. i am not certain whether they made it into the package but i have a copy for inclusion in the record as well. particle sets forth a new strategy compelling government officials to do the right thing, to use the knowledge about what works instead of relying on failing policies and wasted resources. our strategy to overcome this onerous burden of proving the government intended t

maybe we can try to work together and an act asian i davis type of law -- and enact a shania davis type of law. guest: a great comment by dan, working together to solve that problem. host: we will saba -- we will show you again what the crime clock statistics look like from the justice department, as we listen to john from los angeles. good morning. caller: good morning. host: what is your story, and john? caller: i have been assaulted by the police twice. i have a degree in political science, and my only crimes were nonviolent drug offenses. five years ago i was hospitalized after being knocked unconscious in the city of torrance, california, in custody, and sent to the wrong hospital. the rules of the jail said i was to be sent to harvard. anyone who was injured or had a health problem was to be sent to harvard ucla medical center, and instant i was sent to a little company of mary hospital next to the police station. i came to there and had my driver's license suspended because i had lost consciousness after being beaten up by the police. then i got arrested for what was a ticket. in

red blake and davis, pete dawkins, people like that.alk around and you can't help being motivated by, you see the statues to eisenhower and george washington. so you can't limit yoursel to just one. that's why think it keeps me here and lifted every day. it's such a special, special place and you just can't limit yourself to one. ♪ >> for lynn davis and doc blanchard were teammates with different but eective running styles. called the touchdown twins, they also earned the nicknames mr. inside and mr. outside. and in 1946, created an extremely rare situation. two heisman winners on the same team. it should be little surprise that 1946 saw the national title go to the acamy and mr.nside and mr. outside became household names. another nicknamed cadet, carpenter bece famous for his position in a new formation. imagine by legendary coach red blake. in ct, carpenter would line up so close to the sideline that he didn't even join in the huddle. the novelty created a media because that helped his teammate pete dawkins become army's third heisma

gray davis was kicked out of office. how did such a bill -- bless you. çhow did a bill become law? is where the process gets really scary. why? because it was an exemplary process. they had hearings and meetings and they visited other jurisdictions. there was bipartisan cooperation. they worked until late at night and they did such a good job of the law passed unanimously, 98- 0. as you know, nothing passes legislature unanimously. nobody voted against it. what was the problem? they did not designed to work in the real-world. they saw themselves as crafting a bill that would pass and wanted to see that they got as many votes as they could get and put an awful stuff to make everyone happy. the different parts did not work together as a system. the design would not hold up to the likes of enron. california electricity deregulation points to a big factor behind many large government failures. at the root of many implementation failures that you read about actually lies at the design phase. we surveyed members of the national academy of public ministration and this is what they told us

the day before was non-eventful except i did not go ashore because honolulu in those davis was not a favorite port because there were no women. -- in those days was not a favorite port because there were no when then. people said, what are all those planes terrain on a sunday morning -- doing on a sunday morning? about the time i looked up, i was almost positive there were six of them coming information. i saw the bomb dropped, and then i saw this huge red plane and black smoke, and i thought, those are real bombs. i thought somebody really made mistake. about the time, i felt it. we were being hit by torpedoes on the opposite side. >> if you would like to see extended interviews with the survivors, go to c-span.org. the senate was in session began today debating health care legislation, and a portion of the debate beginning with mitch mcconnell of kentucky. mr. mcconnell: mr. president? the presiding officer: the republican leader. mr. mcconnell: first, i want to extend a welcome to the president who is coming up to the capitol today to meet with democrats on the suggest of the heal

davis is talking about and mr. ellison is talking about. do you realize that on wall street we have very competent professionals who can do asset-management and you should be involved in some of the response that the top money has been used for and developing all kind of consultancies. they are not getting their fair share. so if the government itself stop discriminating against small and minority businesses, many of those resources would be helpful in our community. and so that's what some of mr. ellison is talking four. >> i'm wondering if you have identified and then assign specific members of the congress to sit down with leadership that will be the leadership to craft out the policy details of that as this bill is being finalized here you are issues are being included. >> sure, the leadership of the congressional black caucus sits down with their leadership on each and every bill that moves forward. in addition to that we have 17 subcommittee chairs and for subcommittee chairs who are the take on each and every policy initiative that w

davis. >> thank you, mr. chairman, and thank you to all of you for being here. we certainly appreciate -- i certainly appreciate the deliberate process that you've used. i know that it's been difficult. it's difficult for us, too. i feel quite conflicted around this. could you help us understand how you won over some of your own skepticism and others in looking at a few issues? and i guess i have -- pakistan, for example, we've made the assumption that adding 30,000 troops in afghanistan and partnering with a new hopefully more afghan -- afghanis in the services and in the law enforcement will make -- help stabilize pakistan and yet we read in the press and we know that in many ways there will be a flow of taliban likely into pakistan. how does that help to stabilize pakistan? i think the other assumption that's being made is that we will be able to recruit the number of afghanis that are required through their tribal leaders and i'm wondering where do we see that happening in such numbers that you have the confidence to believe that that's the case? i haven't s
