one of the things about gerald ford -- 10 battle stars, silver star, four bronze stars. he had seen it. jim webb was a perfect example -- the senator from virginia. he said, all these think tank commandos in this town, let's go in and get tough -- you do not send force. you send young men and women who have lives and families and hopes and dreams, and you had better think twice, three times, if we will send them in. so i do feel -- the obligatory line for every politician, democrat, republican, is how much we admire the people in the military, the great job they do. i just ask, when was the last time a president of the united states went to a funeral for anybody who came back in a pine box? i cannot find one. one of the reasons is, they do not know anybody in the military. the sons of the cabinet officers or the ceo's or network correspondence or columnist -- when we were debating going to war in iraq, my sister and i called all 535 offices on capitol hill. we asked just one question -- does the senator or member of congress have a child in the enlisted ranks of the unit

certainly i mention gerald ford. bill proxmire was a remarkable man, a man who i've great admiration for. ed muskie -- the mayor of boston. udall was a gentle giant. >> who was he? >> a congressman from arizona who ran for president in 1976 and finished second to jimmy carter for the nomination. he -- the reason he did not win, i am convinced, he had a marvelous sense of humor, as did tip, which i guess is common. he was a gentle giant, with laughter in his soul and steel in his spine. he took on leadership of his own party. he could never convince himself that the western world would collapse if he did not win. there has to be something of that in the successful presidential candidate. and he did not have it. he just said to wide of a perspective of who he was. but he was a marvelous, marvelous -- >> we watched him -- ira member stories of people going out to visit him, including john mccain. did you ever visit him? >> i did. i will say this about john mccain -- his 2000 campaign, when he ran for president, is the m

thank you very much. >>> hi, my name is gerald childerses. i'd like to speak in favor of the legislation for cafe floor. * i have heard a lot of people speak. some opposed, some in favor. it seemed like a lot of people opposed wanted to be punitive against the person. that could certainly happen here. but that would also be punitive against the community and i hope we don't do that. i think the cafe floor has been a great member of the community. i think this is a way for us to get everything above and beyond and aboveboard, legalize it, make sure everything is right for the future. once that's done, everything seems like it would be a go. there's no problems after that.

her and gerald appeared to be really close. tell there was a lot of emotion there over his sister's death. >> as the murder trial begins, carter is anxious and angry. and when there's a break in courtroom proceedings, carter is so overcome with emotion, he attacks. deputies in the courtroom act fast. >> there's no doubt about it the other deputies had not intervened, an individual sitting at the table would have been hit in the back of the head with a chair and possibly suffered a lot of damage to his body. >> the deputies in the courtroom were incredible. they handled it very quickly. >> but carter is too distraught to calm down. >> get off. get off. >> i'll have to tase you. >> fixing to tase you, man if you don't calm down. >> i talked to him during the outburst when he was on the ground trying to get him to calm down. i'm trying to get him to relax if that was possible. but he was in so much pain. it was futile. but i did try. >> my sister was wonderful. she was wonderful. she was so good. she didn't deserve this. >> he kep

hello, gerald, good morning. caller: thank you for taking my call.i'm on the opposite side of the gun issue. stephanie: ok. caller: the reason is only one side is being spoken about and that's how many deaths there are, and the deaths of sad between 11,000 and 15,000 people a year killed by guns. in that statistic there are justifiable shootings there are homicides, there are suicides and there's police shootings but nobody ever mentions that there's 2.4 million people a year that are able to and have saved themselves from great bodily harm or injury by use of a gun. stephanie: that is not -- you know what, gerald, i have heard people tossing that statistic around. i do not believe that is provable. i know people on the gun side like to say a huge percentage of justifiable, but those are not the statistics i have seen from any study. you are 43 times more likely, that is one study that i don't believe i've heard anybody refute that is reasonable on this issue, 43 more times likely to kill an quaintance or loved one. caller: stephanie and i breathe yo

now, we are here to speak with astronomer gerald mckee began here at chabot space and science center because earlier in our newscast, we were talking about the difference between a meteorite and asteroid and maybe you can reiterate that for the people at home. >> a meteor is when a space rock comes into our atmosphere. if it just passes through the atmosphere and burns up in the atmosphere, we call it a meteor. if it hits the ground we call it a meteorite. an asteroid is a space rock that's out in space orbiting around the sun and doesn't enter the atmosphere. >> reporter: asteroid is orbiting the earth right now? >> it's orbiting the sun and passed close to the earth at 11:25 this morning and it's continuing in its orbit around the sun. it was a meteorite that hit in russia last night. >> reporter: i'm very curious. with this kind of asteroid that is coming so close to earth, albeit now traveling away from earth, can it indeed affect the weather? >> well, this one won't affect the weather. if something like this would actually had the the earth, asteroid this size, it's about 150, 2

[laughter] you have a whole host of problems in society. the liberal answer is to find it a government program that will fix id. state of the union address. the conservative approach is in what way is the government passed a regulation and taxation and corruptions and hindrances of all kinds holding back to this incredible engine of the private sector, which historically has provided unpresident -- unprecedented prosperity and liberty in america? that is the difference between the parties. rubio, if you look at the transcript -- i will not speak about the delivery. it was hot in there and he was obviously thursday. [laughter] the transcript was an excellent explanation of the conservative argument that what is coming america is a sclerotic, obsolete hanging onto every regulation, every increase in taxation, i thought he did it well. the problem is, he should have

and the war effort there starting in 1952 was led by this man, general sir gerald templer who should not be confused with this man, the actor david niven, for whom he is a dead ringer. so this man -- not this man, but this man -- was the british commander in malaya and when he arrived in 1952, he found a deeply entrenched insurgency. the one in malaya was being waged by the malayan race's liberation army, one of many communist groups that were trying to take over in the postwar period. they dynamited trains, they even killed the previous high commissioner. in fact, gerald templer drove from the airport in the very same rolls royce in which his predecessor had been shot to death a few months before. that must have been a chilling experience. so it would have been very understandable if you should those circumstances general templer had resorted to absolute savagery to try to terrorize the population into acquiescence. but that's not what he did, because he understood the key to success was not terrorizing the population, it was securing the population. and he went about it in a variet

and russia i'm joined now by author and historian well historian gerald horne has written extensively on the middle east welcome to the program sir do you believe it if in fact as the russian foreign minister has said and the u.s. top diplomat john kerry has said that they're going to try to get the opposition to join negotiations to get both sides to come to the table do you believe that this is possible because we've really seen this sort of back and forth for quite some time now with little progress it is possible but not probable in the united states the washington administration believes that mr owen is one his way out it reminds me of the last stages of the conflict in libya in two thousand and eleven when the opposition refused to negotiate with mr gadhafi because they thought he was on his way out just this morning the new york times reported that through correlation in so eastern europe the saudis or supplying ever heavier weaponry to the rebels and the opponents of the damascus regime as washington and the saudis see it they won't be able to remove mr also from power for fro

chris: joe, you think the president will talk optimistically about the country or do what gerald ford did? >> what a bummer. i remember that. yeah, i think that the president really feels that the state of the union is stronger for several reasons, one is that he's been winning ever since the election. and he seems to have a working majority now. even in the house. but, also, i think that despite the last quarter of g.d.p. nongrowth, that things are looking pretty good for the economy. chris: that's always a question because you look at the stock market and things are up 13,000 and the job situation is stuck below eight. a jobless recovery, how do you brag about that? >> he has to address that and has to talk about what he hasn't been talking about because he's been talking about gun control and immigration and all the rest. he's got to talk about we're at the precipice right now and either we go in the right direction or we get this recovery going stronger or we go in the wrong direction and we go to the automatic spending cuts and the economy starts falling off the cliff again. i th
