., ect., ect.. was approached by some folks through intermediaries, i was approached by people from the university of mississippi. they had spent millions of dollars preparing for the debate. it's a big deal for the state of mississippi, the university, and all of that, and they asked me if i'd moderate an event just with obama. in other words, if mccain didn't come, maybe using students, and run a town hall thing. i said, well, i'll have to think about that because let's say they did delay the debate for a week or so, i mean, it was all -- and i had a lot of conversations about, you know, kind of what we would do and whatever, but i realized in my case i didn't -- fortunately at the last minute, i mean, literally at the last minute, mccain decided to come, and that was the morning of the debate. he didn't decide to come in the l morning. >> host: you're preparing questions -- >> guest: i left the other issue aside. >> host: how do you do that? compartmentalize; right? how do you do that with the hu

there's plenty in vermont, same bushy eyebrows, ect.. and ethan allen -- i was able to verify somewhat what he looked like because jp morgan, buying everything he could that period bought etchings of revolutionary officers, and they are held in the morgan library, and there's an image of ethan allen that matches almost exactly the image in the first really good biography of ethan allen done by john bell in 1929. it's not this. it's not this. this is the statue given to vermont. vermont's place in statuary hall here in the nations capitol in the 1870s. each state got one, and vermont got ethan allen where he looks remarkably like marlin play napolean. everything's wrong about it, a french revolutionary hat with a cape. the rest is right, but that's not ethan allen. [laughter] the family came up with a composite sketch of him in the book. this is the first illustrated biography of ethan allen, and i went to great pains to get versions of him, but there's a composite describing what he looked like at the end of his captivity as a prisoner o

throughout 1919, people were pleading with him, sending telegrams, people from the institute, ect., saying, you got to say something about this, speak out against this, and his answer was invariably, you know, this is a state issue. talk to your governor. see what your governor has to say. there's one quote in my -- he was delivering tons of speeches across the country at the time to get the treaty passed. he -- i found one speech in montana making a passing reference to around these riots terrible? that's it. and so i -- i don't know what his wife was like, but he was a racist on his own. >> [inaudible] >> yeah, rome, she was from rome i think. yeah? >> i happen to come across your book a couple of weeks ago at one of the borders closings -- [laughter] >> i won't ask what the price was, but okay. continue. [laughter] >> only 20% off. >> okay.

they campaign on i want to be the education president or it's about the economy, ect.. is there a temptation or are there overwhelming forces that lead them to intervene worldwide because every president has intervened some way worldwide; correct? >> guest: even ones that declared they don't like the transforming kind, like george w. bush, ended up doing that intervention in the end, so i think that one question we have is do we have enough of these capabilities in the united states, or if we choose not to build them, should we be more careful about going in if we don't have the capabilities at hand? because we see the presidents getting sucked into interventions regardless of what they say, but i think the -- the preparations they make based on the way they perceive threats, again, has profound consequences for the way these interventions play out on the ground and ones better prepared tend to do better as things go on. now, that's also true on the non-transformative side of the ledger. george hw bush prosecutes a successful war in the persian gulf, makes a decision no

but changes for the weekend, clouds, cooler -- clouds, cooler rain and if our forecast models are the ectect, this time next week, i'll be talking about rain. today, though, we're talking about a lot of sunshine. been a lot of fog. that's not the case today. 55 now in napa airport. they were down to 48. they are warming up. hayward, mountain view, low 60s. everyone is pretty close. when it's calm at fair feel and it's calm at sfo, that tells me it's gonna be warmer. no doubt about it. some of those higher elevations are much warmer. we are looking for upper 90s today. everything is pinting -- everything is pointing in the direction of warmer weather. the systems up in the gulf of mexico. sunny and warmer, mostly clear along the coast except that patch or two on the san mateo coast. let's think positive. it will be sunny and warmer. a little chill is giving way to warmer temperatures. low 90s. >> 60s on the coast and then 70s, upper 70s, low 80s south san francisco towards millbrae and burlingame. >> thank you, steve. >>> eight minutes -- eight minutes after 8:00. no one has actually seen

general talk is broaden the base, lower the rates, ect.. it's -- my understanding -- and there's a lot of talk about lowering the top corporate rate to make it more competitive with other countries in the world, and that's good, but a lot of that would include eliminating -- reducing many of the tax expenditures. there are -- some point out that the effective u.s. corporate rate is roughly comparable todd effective tax rate of other companies in other countries. i want to ask you if that's generally true. does our effective tax rate be competitive with that of other countries? >> it's not always clear what some people mean by "the effective tax rate." >> actually, -- >> it's after you deduct and it's over what time period, so i have seen the studies that you cite that say that, and so what you say is true that there's studies that say that, but part of what they are calculating is if you look at book reported income and book reported taxes of u.s. public corporations, they would not include in the taxes, the taxes that are deferred abroad i

we've got basic civil rights laws, ect., but a lot of it hasn't been, and a lot of it was not enactedas assassinated, and a lot of it was not enacted in may of 1979 when at the white house, we had a big ceremony in the east room congressmen rating the brown decision, and word came randolph had died, and if there was no randolph, in many ways there may not have been a march. labor was at the heart of the march even though the afl-cio was not. it had not been enacted today. we have done a lot of things using coalitions. we've learned that, but we need to do a lot more. what would king say today? people are talking every year what martin would say about this, this, or the other, and we don't know exactly what he would say. we know what he did say, and we know that he would say that jobs and justice are connected, that freedom and justice are connected, that you really can't have one without the other. he would understand that, and that the agenda -- the quotes, you know, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. i mean, he understood that, and in everything he wrote including

., ect..this is something which makes us not very happy. what we saw until recently 1 a transactional approach by the united states. we mattered, of course, when we had to do the nuclear. clear, done. we mattered with policies that was kind of sometimes very frustrating because we explained that our policy, share policies multiple, but when it came to expansion of another route, a traditional largest northern route, and chevron and exxon-mobile was happy about that, but we heard grumbling here. we believe what sam said and formulated about developing a new policy, i wish on the basis of three things. bring it on the merits of having the relationship, strong engagement, and looking for real considerations. we, basically -- i personally would not be mad with the concept of privileged rights or interests. you are right, tom, that history plays a great role. you cannot compete with russia in the historic terms, in the economic market terms. russia will continue to be a large market for us. it is m

even an opt-in that i said in the last debate where he makes 2 available, talk about health classes, ectovernment to come in and say, again, vaccines are used to stop the spread of diseases. they are not used in schools to promote a specific health agenda. if that's what it's used for now, require all sorts of things that the government's going to tell you are bad for you because you happen to be going to school -- i don't think that's the role of the government or the school. he did not say -- he said he went about it the wrong way. he still believes the policy was the right policy, and that's the problem. >> constitutional credibility -- [inaudible] >> i, you know, my understanding is that that issue was solved. there's evidence to the contrary, then they should be bringing it forward. >> your father is not a natural citizen, qualifications are your parents have to be -- >> he was born in the country so it gunpoint matter. it doesn't matter. >> we have to be individual lent in making sure that they want to segregate themselves from society which is what is happening in europe does not

those do a lot of risk assessments by different sectors, water sector, you know, transportation sector, ecthave been that the information in these threat assessments and risk assessments should be shared more and used more in decision making purposes so i think that's the issue and governor ridge mentioned to acting on certain threat information or certain information, so i think the real challenge is how do we use the information that's now being collected both at a national level and in a regional and metropolitan level. that's something we'll be continuing to take a look at. >> i don't know, congressman, if you're referring to the methodology associated with urban area grants for homeland security. i can recall -- >> yes, definitely. >> thought that's what you were referring to, and i think that process clearly has evolved i think in a very positive way over the past eight years. i can recall since we were there after congress directed that the department create a model, an assessment model for that very purpose, that we went through a couple of it rations that were challenging and the l
