and office president of the american action forum, douglas holtz, eagan. is christian write? >> there are two different thingsment do we want too raise taxes on the rich now during this lame-duck session. we've already done that. in the president's affordable care act there is a new surtax. that has happened. you have to ask the question how much do you want to do and perhaps drive the economy into a recession. the second is what deal can you strike about the debt. in the end if they do raise more revenue they shouldn't do it by raising the tax rates, but by broadening the base. and remember none of it is going to solve our problems. they have to do entitlement reform. gregg: here is what john boehner had to say. >> the problem with raising tax rates on the yetist americans is that more than half of them are small business owners. we know from ernst and young 700,000 jobs would be destroyed. we also know that it would slow down our economy.

>> jimmy: douglas j. cock. >> steve: yeah, doug cock.round, doug cock. [ light laughter ] >> jimmy: next one's a how-to book. they are always useful. this is "how to rip off a drug dealer" by rex feral. [ laughter ] this is a real book. about how to rip off a drug dealer. for real. but, here's the best part, the dedication, look at this. the dedication says, "to the men of courage who dare to take a chance. to tara lee, timothy ryan, and richard, and all those outlaws out there i dare not mention by name." what about tara lee and timothy ryan? [ laughter ] >> steve: yeah! >> jimmy: you just mentioned their names! >> steve: the escobar family just got a hold of those dudes. >> jimmy: "how to rip off a drug dealer." >> steve: do you know what's a good way to make money? >> jimmy: what's that? >> steve: rip off a drug dealer. yeah. they're not well -- >> jimmy: oh, god. well, this one -- we're down to our last book here. >> steve: aw.

douglas county, georgia, investigators were suspicious how it started. now, watch this video with the audio. >> why is my phone dead? i want to take more pictures. knew he knew -- you hear people filming this and bragging about this. >> it's so cool. say hello to the camera, adrian. >> guess what. douglas county authorities were tipped off to this video from facebook and just this week, the video led to teenagers pleading guilty to burglary and arson. 19-year-olddrian bond and care reason -- carringer and another pled guilty. >> i hate they were that stupid to do this to an institution and then that stupid to post it online that led to their arrest. i'm glad. >> this is back in may when the fire first happened. you can hear witnesses talking about the place. >> my dad and mother and aunts and daddy in law. i have a lot of memories. >> i don't think 60-120 days in a detention center is enough for what they did. >> why is my phone dead? i want to take more pictures. >> these images were captured at an air force based in venezuela. they were celebrating mil

douglas was reluctant but 1870 that brought in from is frederick douglass and washington because with him involved in local politics with the modern republican of party you was very much the republican party man. washington d.c. got self-government and was the first non-voting delegates to see that position he then continued as president of the friedman bank. he moved his family here. it has been many issues but we've learned about him but to go as the abolition does but later in life he has been ignored. spending time in washington and i started to look into his later life and there wasn't much written but it is a great opportunity. >> from the 1960's jfk signed but federal douglas historic site open to. with the national park service there is about 40,000 visitors every year. and high on the hill you can see the washington monument to the left and the u.s. capitol dome to the right. it is a majestic view and open seven days a week. >> soapy quote would read the book 1/2 not then there but to revisit. >> laraque reader at the douglas house, . >> the current curator he is a retired no

here you know that scene from the oliver stone film wall street when gordon gekko played by michael douglas in a role that would win him an oscar appears at a shareholders meeting of a company paper to defend his actions and his grotesque worldview and delivers the now famous speech where he says. for lack of a better word is good. greed is right. works. creek. and can't. see evolution. and. will not be seen tells us that other malfunctioning corporation of this. audience is flipped out they cheered everybody in the eighty's wanted to be gordon gekko but the thing is this oliver stone wrote it as a piece of satire but nobody got it just the opposite all over stone was trying to send up the excesses of the reagan era michael douglas's portrayal helped inspire a whole generation of slicked back hair doos in double breasted seats adopting the greed is good ethos and pursuing the american dream as it had come to be defined now delivers obscene well for a very few well raining poverty and misery down on many and serving as a homicidal force for others because people do in fact die for lack of ac

and the seventh project is the upper douglas dog park in noe valley. this group has raised about $17,000 to improve drainage, irrigation and ground cover and to begin reforesting old and diseased trees. >> thank you very much. and then just a question for -- so, the $2 80,000 can you having from the parks alliance, that is going to be matched with the dollar values that were privately raised by the individual friends of groups or community groups in addition to funding that comes from the community opportunity fund, is that how that would work? >> yes. so, each project has two buckets of funding. one piece is the amount that i just read, the private amount that they raised. and then the second amount is the -- acts as the wouldedction money that the recreation and park department -- our project manager, jake gill christ, he will use the funding to pay the contractor to complete the project. >> in addition to the accepting [speaker not understood] from the park land? >> yes. so, this money from the san francisco parks alliance will go directly to pay fo

. >> douglas epi. douglas yep.ike to thank the new audit committee, in my opinion the old audit committee had far too many cancellations and wasn't doing its duty. i was glad to hear the findings in today's report. it goes back to show when you do an audit you're always going to find some sort of problem so we should encourage that department to keep expanding and maybe we should consider hiring some of the city's youth, train them to be auditors, and actually give them an incentive to stay in the city and go after all the rule-breakers. so i think what this shows is that we need to keep this function as expanding as possible, and then maybe we will find more problems along the way. as usual, i'll put in a plug as to question why the department of public health has not had a full audit in its complete history and i got that from reading different sources. so maybe we could have someone volunteer the dph to do it, and let's see what we can find there. i'm sure there's plenty of money to fund everyone's pet project.

on campus, aziah douglas, update news.t time of the year when people think more about helping the poor. and now a local organization which feeds a quarter of a million people every month has a new facility. since 1974 the second harvest food bank of santa clara and san mateo county has been working to give low income families and seniors food. its new building, located on north first street in san jose, has expanded to feed more people this holiday season. it is equipped with new large refrigerator and freezing units so now more perishable foods can be stored than in the past. last year the food bank distributed more than forty-five million pounds of food.

my name is douglas epi. yep.i'm a san francisco native, been living here 60 years which is a long time. i'd like to question seriously why this item is being heard in this committee. in my opinion, this committee is not functioning as it should be doing, and i seriously question why this item is being heard here. most political savvy people know that there are at least two other city committees that should be hearing this, rather than this committee. so i would like a discussion in front of everybody, especially on tv, about why it's being heard here, and not in those other two committees. but i have to be grateful that we are having this hearing this afternoon because the old audit and oversight committee

douglas, what do you think here?is smart repositions by some republicans out there or is this a civil war within the party? >> i think this is politics. the pledge has been a political document and you know, over the years, it did have the virtue of focusing the attention on the spending side. in the past 30 years, we've seen taxes go up, down and sideways, but we've never seen a sustained effort of spending and the kind of entitlement reforms this moment's going to require. >> now, ethan, i know you worked with the obama camp for a while. there's a notion in this that both sides were aware that in all likelihood, taxes are probably going to have to go up across the board simply to deal with the deficit and everything else out there, so if you're a democrat, are you happy or unhappy because once that train starts rolling, it could hit l middle class, which the democrats warn they won't touch. >> i mean, i'm definitely happy about it. it's thanksgiving and i'm very thankful right now for millions of americans who came

here now is former cbo director and president of the american action forum, douglas holtz-eakin.it's one month, but you've got to admit, the numbers are coming in lousy. i mean, revenues have been rising, but spending is rising faster. >> well, i think you're right to point out that, you know, these things change from month to month. depends on things like whether we're sending out tax refunds. one month isn't everything. but i think the concern has to be that the revenue rise may not condition if the economy doesn't prosper. we've seen some real weakness late in the second half of 2012. i'm deeply concerned about the outlook going forward. and without growth, we don't solve any of knees problemthese. the second problem is the spending really is going higher than revenues every year -- >> look at the 12-month change. >> yeah. >> i'm a former budget official and so forth, but spending growth, 23%, october. 16% growth in revenues is pretty darn good. but even with that 23% growth in spending is not good. that's the whole bloody problem. all right. >> that is the problem. >> let's c

steven douglas, you couldn't hear him five rows back.ple also knew how he walked and there were people who described lincoln walked like a laborer and had the world of burden on his shoulders and hands behind his back. watch the way he walks. most importantly to me was lincoln's humor comes out on the film. the only thing i insisted with tony, please put more stories in. and there's a bunch of times where lincoln tells stories that are irritating to everybody else around and he'll tell a funny story. when he tells a story, his face comes alive and sadness goes away. stories were his way of whistling off sadness because he had a mel an kolly temperament. >> it's so hard to put lincoln in a modern political context. i can imagine the twitter treatment of lincoln trying to abolish slavery, hash tag, how is he going to get this done. there is a leadership lesson that is important now and important for president obama embarking on a second term as he seeks to be what he wanted to be, not just a president but a great president. >> absolutely.

steven douglas the great democrat from illinois what he saw as the view of slavery he said douglas don't care but god cares and humanity cares proprietary. to his past lincoln describes evil over all national deals and dangers have come. it must be stopped. to accept a compromise that there would even permit the theory of expansion expansion -- lincoln. he never advocated any moves timing begin he declared the federal government does us no such power. even supported the one measure aimed at compromise coming at of congress with the original 14 commencement the would have made the prohibition of slavery as a state possible. and hid did pass congress in would have been put on the constitution. >> host: day expressed his support that would make the abolition almost impossible. he simply could not count but with that expansion itself lincoln found a way past the barrier. slavery he announced must remain within the borders in that fashion. some of the absolute partisanship and his heart abraham lincoln was done yielding. of meaningful copper-- compromise. and rejected the legacy. and with tha

joining us is douglas holtz eakin, the president of the american action forum. good to have you with us. i have to say, don't know what your reaction was that as i watched the market take off, i didn't see the strength of the president's words that would warrant such a powerful reaction. >> struck me as a very naive reaction, one that is likely to be reversed as disappointment sets in. if we were to simply go ahead and go off the cliff, we have strong market reaction. the recipe for a recession in my view and one that would not be easily reversed display some people's claims to go backwards somehow. that circumstance of that kind of danger for we have already committed to raising taxes through the health care reform, there is a real premium placed not raising other taxes and getting rid of the mindless cuts across the board, i don't see that falling into place automatically. that is politics over common sense. lou: we're not even hearing discussion of the defense cuts under sequestration. we have heard only some nice but welcomed positive words from the presiden

douglas, and the compromise that preserved the union." what was so great about the great compromise? >> well, most of us if we don't know anything about the compromise. the vaguest recollection from junior high school said there was a crisis in 1850. the nature of the crisis was this. the country went to the brink of civil war. most of the political culture and most americans that war was going to take place, that the deep south was going to succeed and they were much closer to succession than most americans even today realized. certainly the deep south states. texas was arming. other southern states to texas. why am i talking about texas? had there been a collision? headwear began in 1850, when it begun in charleston, would've begun in santa fe, new mexico. why? because texas with its own imperial ambitions to move westward in the slaveowning south aim to invade new mexico territory. there were many come in many other parts of the crisis fundamentally whether or not so much of the slaves in 1850 the south was militarized. southern nation

. >> two of those men, henry clay and steven douglas, what was their the role of the compromise? henry clay was called out of retirement in kentucky to take charge of an attempt to create some kind of a compromise. he was known as the great compromise or for husbanding the compromised in the 1820s, the missouri compromise and also the 1833 compromise that brought the country back again from crisis over south carolina's nala vacation of the federal law. henry clay was a grand, remarkable man and he never once said no when he was invited to the political convention so he returned to washington and let the debate for seven months attempting to persuade congressmen from the right, the left in the south in the north to a agree to a grand compromise, a grand bargain of civil rights that was called the slavery question once and for all. he failed to henry clay was pivotal to the debate but he failed in actually making the compromise real. he had put together one of the first omnibus bills in american political history, the omnibus collapsed. >> what happened? >> steven a. douglas, the j

third week of losses, and i enjoyed by douglas holds a in the former cbo director, now the president of the american action forum. good to have you with us. i cannot tell you the number of radio stations and news outlets that are just ballyhooing these numbers. your reaction? >> welcome want to the rise did not surprise me. the decline last month was a fluke, and it was inevitable that we see the number go back up. i think the interesting thing for me was in light of the real declines of business confidence, the fact that business investment was neative in the third quarter and that capital orders goods are down i was afraid that job creation will slow from last month and not pick up, and the surprise was that it did not. you know, this is to me, ike a good, sold single in the game where the american worker has over 20 runs down. it's great, but you don't want it to be to happy about this. lou: and it is interesting, the number of news outlets, as i said. they had everything going but the pompoms. and i think we all wanted the best possible results. this certainl does not approach th

joining me is douglas brinkley, one of the historians who attended one of those dinner.s a professor at rice university. >> thanks for joining me. >> thanks for having me on. >> those sound like remarkable dinners. what do you think the president was looking to learn with scholars like you? >> it's a great honor just to be at those dinners and being with mea colleagues. it's really like a book club. he's almost encyclopedic on past presidents. abe ray ham lincoln is his touch did not stone and doris kerns' team had influenced him a lot. >> because linking had some of husband own adversary sears. >> and gates, a republican, he kept as defense. maybe chuck hagel will come in as defense. theodore roosevelt came up a lot. and t.r. is for president obama very important, because theodore roosevelt stood up for universal health care. he was able to go after corruption in wall street and, you know, become a trust buster. you see the power that an executive has. just a few weeks ago in california he saved cesar chavez' home. executive order did that. a lot of latino newspapers ce

. >> as an historian, sometimes, david, these meetings -- douglas, these meetings can be a little awkwardn you look at bush/gore, for example. >> bush/gore was a bit awkward because gore thought he had lost the presidency because of the supreme court that he won but had he to do it and that's the main thing. you did have that main meeting between gore and bush. the worst one for awkwardness is ronald reagan when he beat carter in 1980. carter and reagan had zero chemistry and you have times when fdr, back in 1944, refused to talk. i want to see that s.o.b. dand e wouldn't meet him. the most generous i ever heard of was richard nixon in 1968 after beating hugh bert humphrey, visited humphrey and offered for him to be the ambassador and of course he said no. >> now, talking about offering a job, the president did say, james, that mr. romney had some good ideas in his post-election news conference. watch what the president said about mr. romney's idea. >> there may be ideas that he has with respect to jobs and growth that can help middle class families, which i want to hear. i'm not either p

it's clear that the democrats choose douglas, lincoln's old adversary, but it doesn't matter.the split means republicans win the election. the republicans know they are picking a president at the moment of the greatest crisis in american history. yet, they choose a one-term congressman over a two-term governor and senator with international reputation. >> host: now, you say there are many possible likely consequences from choosing such an extreme person in a situation like that. .. is depression actually was. but it's quite probable at least one his depression was a problem he was able to continue on without any modern merkel therapy and become a successful president. in some ways it may have been an advantage. psychologists have a phrase for people who are able to assess their project and in that phrase is clinically depressed. we are naturally optimistic this idea of realism and the far more fully depressed, not just so severe they are incapacitated moderately are better able to calculate their success with. wendi endeavors are worth taking chances. >> does it also helped hi

douglas? >> it has been over a week since hurricane sandy battered the shores but the state is still feeling the effect on election day. in fact, election officials say over 800 polling places were damaged other are still without power and they have instituted emergency measures to allow residents to vote. new jersey governor chris christie, for instance, says anyone who is affected by the storm can vote at any polling place in the state. he says he is ordered to oversee ballots distributed to all polling places that are open. in addition the governor has allowed voting by text message and e-mail. resident whose want to cast their vote electronically have been asked to contact the local town clerk if details and we are just getting word that christie has extended the deadline for electronic voting to friday so a lot of people are going to be able to vote a long time after today is over but some state residents are simply braving the elements in a show of election day patriotism. >> i will vote

joining us is douglas brinkley, author of the new biography, "cronkite."spoken to the president many times. where do you think he sees the greatest opportunity for success in his second term? >> well, he has something he calls -- he says a lot in his speeches fair shake. he wants to be remembered by a term like that that he spread fairness in the united states. the schools have to be competitive with math and science teachers and the affordable care act part of law of the land, something like social security, medicaid and medicare. all of the points that we know about him as he cares about the middle class and people in poverty and i think he's staking out a claim that they are not going to be left behind bringing more people into the prosperity of the united states and in a second term dealing with global warming climate change. on that i suspect you'll see him hold a summit after all it's not just affecting the united states. every country is being affected by the warmer climate. >> well, we've had second term as presidents who have had achievements and
