disagreement was bush versus gore ok. it comes up all the time the usual response is get over it the press did extensive. research into what would have happened if what al gore wanted done had been done county by county and he would have lost anyway. now it wouldn't last anyway in fact he would have won today twelve years later after two illegal wars and economic depression and numerous scandals from outing a cia agent to politicizing the justice department to outright war crimes all on george bush's watch justice scalia tells america to get over it well for the thousands of families who have lost a loved one in war the millions who have lost their homes the tens of millions who've lost their jobs it's not so easy to get over that insult to injury there was justice scalia defending the court's two thousand and ten citizens united decision the one that sold off our government to a small handful of billionaires and transnational corporations. you know i think thomas jefferson would have said the more speech the better that'

bush but on top of that even in the state of florida al gore beat george w. bush as the new york times reported on november twelfth two thousand and one as a year after the election after it and a consortium of news organizations conducted their own recount in florida gore actually won the state the times wrote if all the ballots had been reviewed under any of seven single standards and combined with the results of an examination of over votes mr gore would have won the times looked at all the various scenarios dimpled chads pimple chads under votes overvotes intent of the voter anger and chads everything and concluded all the other combinations likewise produced additional votes for mr gore giving him a slight margin over mr bush in other words al gore won florida you'd think the revelation that the wrong man is sitting in the white house would be front page news instead it was buried in the seventeenth paragraph in a story in the new york times misleadingly titled study of disputed florida ballots finds justices did not cast the deciding vote the reason why

i guess the one that created most waves of disagreement was bush versus gore.hat comes up all the time and my usual response is get over it. >> get over the possible corruption of the american presidential system? justice scalia? >> my court didn't bring the case into the court. it was brought into the courts by al gore. he is the who wanted courts to decide the question. richard nixon thought that he had lost the election because chicago, he chose not to bring it into the cowers, but al gore want the courts to decide it. the only question in bush versus gore was weather the presidency would be decided by the florida supreme court or by the u.s. supreme court. that was the only question. that's not a hard one. >> no regrets? >> no regrets at all since it's clear that the thing would have ended up the same anyway. the press did extensive research into what would have happened if what al gore wanted done had been done county by county and he would have lost anyway. >> when are people say about you that you are fantastic justice, no one disputes that and charismat

but al gore wanted the courts to decide it. only question in bush versus gore was whether the presidency would be decided by the florida supreme court or by the united states supreme court. that was the only question. and that's not a hard one. >> no regrets? >> oh, no regrets at all. especially since it's clear that the thing would have ended up the same way anyway. the press did extensive research into what would have happened if what al gore wanted done had been done county by county and he would have lost anyway. >> when people say about you that you're this fantastic justice, no one dispute that. incredibly charismatic. you ask the most questions. >> i don't ask the most questions. that's not true. >> apparently someone has asked the last 35 year, you ear the guy that asks the most questions. >> i used to be. >> you ask more than justice thomas, right? >> that's a low bar. >> it's just a bit weird. the guy can join the supreme court and literally not ask any questions? >> that's not unusual. thurgood marshall rarely asked

three people were gored including one american. thousands took the challenge and ran in front of a path of fighting bulls as they raced through the streets. a 38-year-old engineer from cherry hill new jersey was gored in the right calf. none of the gored were seriously injured. >>> a terrifying crash into a gas station take it is life of one man in virginia. officials say a truck crossing the median and two lanes of a busy road before slamming into a gas pump at a convenience store parking lot in henry go county. the store manager was inside when he heard the loud sound. >> it was the worse thing i've ever heard in my life. it was like a big sound, like cars hitting something. and when i looked it was only my parking lot. >> switches were shut off to prevent the gas from igniting. the cause of crash remains under investigation. >>> orange county bomb squad investigators safely detonated the six grenades and other explosive devices. the backpack was deteriorated when it was discovered and officers say it may have been there for a lo

gore.t me show you some video from a interview you did with pierce morgan. i want you show you this clip. let me just show you this. >> i guess the ways disagreement was bush v. gore. that comes up all the time one usual response is get over it. >> you went on to explain further on that and we did it four years ago. >> did they tell you -- i didn't know that was -- >> we're used to that. we get that all the time. >> i don't mind -- ask me about bush versus gore. >> judges have tenure for life. why does everybody worry about things they say in public and not having cameras in the room and all of that stuff? what are you so sensitive about that? >> i'm sensitive about it because judges ought to express their views on the law in their opinions. everything i had to say about the real legal issues in bush versus gore was set forth in the opinion that i joined. beyond that, i'm just either repeating myself or adding things that really were not basis for my decision. i also don't like drawing the

but al gore wanted the questions to decide it.on was whether the presidency would be decided by the florida supreme court. that fs the only question. and that was a hard one. >> no regrets? >> well, no regrets is clear. the thing would have wound up the same way any way. the press did extensive research of what would have happened if al gore done what he wantded to do. >> when people say about you that you're a fantastic justice and you ask the most questions -- >> i don't ask the most questions. >> apparently, you do. you are the kbie to ask the most questions. >> no, i used to be. >> we lost more than justice thomas, right? >> that's a low bar. >> i mean, is it just me or he's a bit weird? the guy can join the supreme court and not ask any questions? >> that's not so unusual. in fact, i was the first one who started asking a lot of questions. >> i got two questions the whole time. it was not at all unusual. >> let's take another break. >> so leave clarence alone. >> he has a principled reason. he told me in his interview, and th

who wrote the book mind you my prices investing finally our own dmitri copius will degrade us on the gore of the national innovate or die conference which is wrapping up today in vancouver dimitri will hopefully tell us how to avoid debt let's get to today's capital account. here it is friday and one piece of news making headlines today is the u.s. gross domestic product data from the commerce department showing the economy is slowing down it grew one point five percent in the second quarter on an annualized basis and this is down from two percent the prior quarter and four point one percent the quarter before that consumers are reportedly cutting back spending on big ticket items businesses are holding off on investment so in light of this number in these this data q. speculation about the federal reserve taking more action or q talk of how government g.d.p. numbers aren't reliable in the first place also how this so-called recovery lags compared to others but when did things really start going downhill economically in the u.s. stepping back was it after a peak of good times for america

gore thing. >> you can do that if you're scalia and your skull is in a lock box. >> stephanie: we had a great conversation about, i guess he brought up global warming because we were talking about when did gun control. i said you probably don't remember this, but under bill clinton, and we had the weapon ban, and now it's is subject you can't even talk about. >> that's the democratic party's fault. the focus group did not care as much. i think they're wrong. there are a lot of people on the conservative side as well. we saw with bill chris toll who said people should have access to handguns, hunting weapons but not automatic weapons. it's true that most crimes in america occur with handguns and not automatic weapons. >> stephanie: we have armchair heroes like russell pierce who said it's the coward in the theater who were sadly unarmed. >> these patriots who were members of well-regulated militia. >> stephanie: yes, the heartbreaking story is all the heroes that were in that theater. who was it y

and then i would also say you know bush v gore for what it's worth also held that everyone has equal voting rights. you know we didn't see it play out very well but you know i did talk about equal protection and so our case in pennsylvania is about equal protection and so whether or not you can afford to pay thirty dollars for a birth certificate you know make sure that if your purse is still and you can do that in time for the election and you could make it to the pan died and you could make two trips to the pound did you have the money to be able to do that you know i mean if you're one of the nearly million pennsylvanians who are in situations like that where you are disenfranchised by this law you know you have equal protection and you have equal voting rights thanks so much for being with thank you appreciate it. moving on from voter suppression id laws aimed at keeping republicans in power plans to crash the economy also aim to keep republicans in power according to a new report the government accountability office republican obstruction efforts around the debt limit debate in

the contrasts between gore's former life and his new life is stark. in sudan, he was running in fear for his life. in new hampshire, he was running for the joy of athletic competition and to be part of a team. amazingly, in only his second official marathon, gore ran fast enough to qualify for the 2012 london olympics. given his unique situation, however, it looked like the bureaucracy would triumph over his bravery, that gore might not be able to compete, because according to the rules of the international olympic committee, permanent residents of a country are not permitted to compete on that country's team. as a result, gore can't compete under the american flag because he's not yet a full citizen. in addition, gore can't run for the newly recognized country of south sudan because it's such a new country, it doesn't yet have an official olympic committee. the international olympic committee suggested that gore compete as a member of the sudanese team and the sudanese government extended him an invitation, but gore rightfully refused, explaining tha

clinton was flummox at al gore keeping him at a distance because of the lewinsky matter. but he couldn't resist spouting off. he held out a texas twang and gave his best bush impression. i'm a governor, my daddy was president. i own a baseball team. but al gore was right in using the lewinsky issue. >> now if he decides he can't help himself and starts campaigning against me, the shadow returns. bill: the shadow. we learned when book visited the white house after the recount of 2000, he asked clinton if that shadow offended him and he gave him a pass. and of course clinton became close to george bush 41 and the family. they consider clinton a brother of another mother. and listen to this. >> is that so ridiculous our odd couple partnership, that barbara began to refer to me as her black sheep son, you know, the one that -- [laughter] strays. there's one in every family. gets the politics wrong and make some of the mistakes. chris: you got all in the book? >> yes. chris: how ike helped ronald reagan against richard nixon and some of nixon's own skull duggery. chris: welcom

group of people. >> other ethnic groups around their own ethnic groups speak differently-- >>> al goreto a preacher mode and use this is divisive language. >> the more significant view is that mitt romney came to the naacp and never mentioned voter enfranchisement, which is the number-1 issue for the naacp. >> sean: that goes to the heart of joe biden's comments, saying they are trying to make voting harder. why? because they want an i.d.? >> come on, you are supposed to show an i.d., why is that a burden? >> because it has a disproportionate negative impact on black it's. >> no tdoesn't. >> sean: do you know what you need? you need credentials. you need a picture i.d. -- >> you don't need a picture -- >> to drive a car and to vote, to buy beer. >> this is supposed to prevent voter fraud. only 86 cases of voter fraud have been prosecuted-- >>> how about voter intimidation in philly? >> after the florida vote, everybody should want voter integrity. >> sean: what if you are illegal? what if you are in the country illegally? >> why is only the republican party pushing this? >> why not mak

but vice president al gore decided no, i'm fine. it is him. the day of his announcement in carthage, later that day on the air, his interview with diane sawyer in which she says the word disappointed five or six times. and the whole story for the next week was gore separates from clinton. presidency is what he stood for and it made the news. by making the statement then by this rush to judgment, he looked both disloyal and he created friction in the white house between his staff in the clinton staff that gone the way of the whole campaign. my first reaction was i have to write about the campaign. even before florida, i thought, this needs to be explained. how can so many stars be so crazy. there are a lot of brilliant people. but something was wrong. and i decided it is either the strategy, the strategist, or one of the six pollsters, or maybe it was one of the four media people. then i realized that there is a book that i had on my shelf by a geographer, the theme of the book basically was that all maps are misleading. that is why they are us

even though al gore had more national security experience and military service than george bush, georgeush wins and then of course 9/11 occurs. bush goes on of course to start the iraq war in 2003 and in 2004 goes against john kerry, a war hero, a decorated vietnam veteran, but nonetheless pummels him on national security issues again taking advantage of the idea that democrats are weak, republicans are strong on national security. his success in preventing any subsequent acts of terrorism and then of course kerry did not do a good job of saying what he would do differently about the iraq war which led to charges of being a flip-flopper and then the swift boat advertisements and kerry really was a close election but many believe he lost the election on the national security issue. but interestingly during bush's term you can see for the viewers on television this chart of polling about which party is better on national security after almost two decades of showing very strong republican support. unpopularity of the iraq war began to erode. literally a 30-point gap, december 2003 the sadd

for al gore's campaign in 1988. how did you get from there from that background as a speechwriter, journalist, to teaching? >> fleeing washington. >> why? >> because i -- i guess the word i felt was, the speechwriter thing particularly, it's like you had the campaign to do your job. you know, it's like -- even if it was like -- when they hire speechwriters, it tends to be, you're smart, you can write speeches. >> how old were you when you were writing for gore? >> 22. no, 23, 24. >> did you finish undergraduate? >> i finished undergraduate. i was an intern. i was writing a lot for "the new republic" back in '88/'89. then i had this choice, i could either go into journalism, i could either go into real journalism which meant, like, i had a new job -- i'm from missouri, and kansas. i had a job lined up with "the kansas city star" that i in the end decided not to go back. i wasn't ready to go back to kansas city that quickly. >> let's go back into history for a minute. you wrote a book "the tyranny of printers." the ea

we talk about bush and the gore. i know you do not want to talk about that again. let me show you some video from an interview with perce morgan. he asked to everything we are not supposed to ask you, and you answered. >> did i do that? >> yes, you did that. >> i would have been, in your view, the most contentious. what do most people ask you about? >> i guess one that created the most waves of disagreement was bush forces court. that comes up all the time. my usual response is, "get over it." >> you went on to explain further on that. we did it for years ago. we are used to that. we get that all the time. >> famous cases -- i do not mind. asked me about bush versus gore. >> i do not want to talk about that. >> i do not either. >> judges have tenure for life. why are you sensitive about it? >> judges ought to express their views on the lot in their opinions. everything i had to say about the real legal issues in bush versus gore was set forth in the opinion that i joined. beyond that, i'm just either repeating myself or adding things that really were not basis for

the left only follows from al gore who's tennessee home use is 20 times the amount of electricity than the wal-mart it that he harps about the indirect. harrison ford. he is getting his chest wax. why. [laughter] i love indiana jones. why is he getting it waxed? he wanted to bring awareness to climate change for youtube commercial. why does this bring awareness? i don't know. [laughter] but it made sense to harrison ford at the time. it turns out while he gets the chest while axed his brother owns seven airplanes parked outside and has stated on the record he often flies up the coast for a cheeseburger. [laughter] you want to lecture the rest of us about the environment? for a cheeseburger. pollution pending. lot of liberals do not believe the hype and to read the mountains of data that come out to make of mockery look at the behavior if the years was really on the precipice of disaster would actress eight-- actresses be it across the globe or use movie studios to sucker punch the earth? no. would say i will alter my life style as soon as they alter there's. that would be cool to own s

stay tuned as the details unravel, folks. >>> next, remember tipper gore and al gore after 40 years offor divorce yet. seems they have all moved on. because tipper has a new man. >> oh, tipper got a new man. >> look at him. yes. he is bill allen the former editor of "national geographic" magazine. everyone saying are they boyfriend/girlfriend, dating? the close friend said they have a deep friendship. >> we all what's that code for. uh-huh. yeah. >> huh. >> tipper, tipper, tipper. >> he is sexy. cute. >> good for her. after 40 years to find love again, good for her. >> he is 71. she its 63. >> older, older. tipper, tipper. all right. >>> well speaking of true love let's talk about snooki for a second. let me set this photo up briefly. she is pregnant. in her third trimester. spotted going to a barbecue with "jersey shore" folks. take a look at the picture, folks. if this doesn't make you proud to be an american on this july 4, i don't know what will. that is snooki toting beer back to the party in the stroller. >> expensive stroller. >> according to sources she did not drink any of the

you cite the elections with both al gore and john mccain. talk about that and how third party candidates can swing the electoral college. >> well, if we are looking at an election where the incumbent is trying to disqualify the challenger, part of that -- people are just going to be dissatisfied with both candidates. in 2008 they liked those candidates n 2004, al gore would have run the election had ralph nader voters gone for him in new hampshire, forgetting florida. didn't matter nader only got 2.7 nationwide. his voters got more than enough votes to make up that margin between bush and gore. florida, i don't need go back over. in 2008, it is more forgot. in north carolina that obama victory margin smaller than the number of people that voted for bob barr. you have gary johnson running as libertarian, hard to class, if i was a republican governor, very well known in new mexico, polling 7 there. if his numbers hold up tough that, tough for mitt romney to compete in the state. the voters didn't like either candidate, going for the libertaria

with the end see eric frye he's editor of the daily reckoning and chief investment strategist at a gore a financial to find out why all of these high profile investors and economic experts are seen such high stakes at this point and what answers they may have so first of all eric thank you so much for being on. your big conference for the year to tell us all about it and also your insight thanks for being on the show. that's a pleasure warm place for having me absolutely so first eric let's just touch on the conference briefly and what you think of my characterization of this as the anti davos because also my producer tells me that you guys were talking about this conference in the attendees as financial first responders so i'm curious your your explanation of and reactions to both of those comments. well yes i think the davos is where davos is davos is the established order davos is the very comfy co-leader country club ish association of of comfortable c.e.o.'s and and their government counterparts and this is a conference that's not for them this is a conference that is for regular i

loose change because our producer dimitri co phoenix is in vancouver where he is the last day of a gore a financial symposium innovate or die symposium so after a week of this conference i'm dying to hear what dimitri has learned to avoid what i am hoping is a proverbial death so demitri first of all it's nice to feel. nice to hear you laura o'brien is going well there in washington are you know we miss you but i have to say things are going smoothly i'm glad you though have been the eyes and ears and producer on the ground there and i'm sure our audience is dying to know as i am and there is no pun intended there what you learned this week that perhaps we haven't heard from guests that have come on the show to kind of maybe what the main themes of this conference are or the main concerns of investors that i know you've been talking to all week are the main concerns of the same but these conferences are held up much or is this is a manual one but a girl holds conferences. often and the main concern amongst the conference goers is always pretty much how to get out of the way of this auth

2000, 12 years ago, the big florida campaign the difference was 537 votes between george bush and al gore. now, what the republicans are doing is nothing new because in 2000, and in '04 and '08 but in 2000 in florida, they said, everyone whose name is the name of somebody who once committed a crime can no longer vote. so if your name was marble summers and you committed a crime, everybody named marble summers or more significantly, john smith, were taken off of the roles so john smith, the non-criminal went in to vote and they said, no, you can't volt because there is another guy named john smith. they are doing that again. >> when they went back later, to reconcile the voter lists, they found there were thousands of people who had been purged who were eligible. >> that's the point. the republicans say, oh, we were just trying to keep the criminals and bad actors off. we didn't mean to knock off all of these voters, most of whom tend to be tore, latino or african-american. 180,000 voters punked in florida. the 2000 race was 537 votes. this is why republicans do this. this is why. >> it's

it tends to be, you're smart, you can write speeches. >> how old were you when you were writing for gore? >> 22. no, 23, 24. >> did you finish undergraduate? >> i finished undergraduate. i was an intern. i was writing a lot for "the new republic" back in '88-'89. then i had this choice, i could either go into journalism, i could either go into real journalism which meant, like, i had a new job -- i'm from missouri, and kansas. i had a job lined up with "the kansas city star" that i in the end decided not to go back. i wasn't ready to go back to kansas city that quickly. >> let's go back into history for a minute. you wrote a book "the tyranny of printers." the early history of partisan newspapers. >> right. >> tell us about a bit more about that. what does that cover? >> that covers -- that actually kind of came out of being on a political staff then coming into grad school and needing a first topic to write about and reading about the political history of the rise of political parties in the 1790s. and just kept noticing how for how much the press was involved and how differently it's i

in that moment i saw al gore clearly. he was the son of a senator, he was a son of a great man, and vp because of -- and there was a lack of confidence in that guy. >> pretty interesting. but the bottom line, no matter what, you agree with me this election comes down to obama's record and the economy. let's show some of obama's words as he was running in 2008 and then we will put up on the screen where we are now. let's role this tape. >> we are going to have to work our way out of the pickle that we've been put in here. but i refuse to accept the idea that we can't do it. i am absolutely confident that we can chews -- choose our own economic destiny. we can choose the next four years with what bush has implemented and taken our debt from five to over nine trillion dollars in over eight years, mortgaging our children's mute on a mountain are death or we can restore some fiscal responsibility in washington. yes, we can. >> now, it's $16 trillion, over $5 trillion in new obama death, that's more than bush had in eight years
