so a lot of that has carried over but there are some republicans leaders like stalwarts like george schultz, james baker come out with an impact policy, frank paulson also has a carbon tax initiative. so maybe as more elite republican elites start to donate less about the cause of it andtalk more about how to fix it . >> richard wants to come in here but i would note this is not specific to the current administration. this will really date me, dinosaur that i am, and if anyone remembers jimmy carter wore sweaters to his conversations with the american people and in the senate at the time, every other lightbulb, funny we should talk about lightbulbs these days was turned off on the ceiling of the office building and so forth so this concern noted a long time ago and it's gotten uneven attention over many years but i think at this point, many more people see it as a crisis and used to, i'm sure that's fair. we still need to talk about china. >> the interesting thing on the republican side on the climate change issue is the generational split because i love james baker and i love george schult

as a member of the policy planning staff and a principal speechwriter for secretary of state george schultz and deputy policy for american affairs. he is a intruding columnist at the washington post and the author most recently which is also available for sale tonight. thank you all for joining us, please give a warm welcome. [applause] >> thank you so much, it is such a great honor and pleasure for me too be on the stage, who i have admired for years and years and if you have not read it you have a great enjoyment ahead of you. i hardly think of a book were on every page there are more insights in a predicament, it's really external how it works, congratulations. i would say, living in america in writing in america today, i do wonder what impact your will have on american readers and you can tell us what impact you feel it already has. this is a book that begins with one would have to call the tragedy and betrayal of the crudest people, primarily but not only by the united states but moved on from there and viewing it from the experience that you had and have had in viewing the whole world

it's an ambient threat today. 17 years after george schultz said that, 9/11 happens right here in thise want won a war over, declare the war over, but the enemy gets a vote, and the bottom line is, any negotiation like this has got to accommodate, and take into account the enemy's vote. what is the enemy going to do. that's just the reality we live in. i would like to bring more positive message to you and say, well, you know, it's all going to be over and we're going to live happily ever after and we saw what happened when the intelligence community warned president obama that if you pull all the troops out of iraq, you will have to go back in for our interests and that's exactly what happened. so that's the concern i have. again, we're not even being informed by recent history, in some of what we're doing, but i can't comment on the specifics of this one. i don't want to pretend to know details that i don't. >> general, one of the stories today but it's not a new story, the u.s. of military construction funds being transferred and used along the southern border where u.s. forces are
