enough of the past. >> okay. >> chris: and the february greta show versus the march greta show. if you are president gingrich and speaking to the american people as president obama will be tomorrow night, first of all, would you say i want the tows be in control rather than cede control of the operation, the entire operation to nato? and secondly, you say gaddafi must go. as president, what would you be willing to do? >> i hope the president tomorrow night will be dramatically clearer than he has been up till now. i hope the president will say, first he is consulting the u.s. congress, not just the arab league and united nations. i hope he will say second it's clear that the gaddafi dictatorship has to leave. and that we are prepared to do whatever it takes to make sure the gaddafi leadership should leave. >> chris: when you say "do whatever it takes" does that mean we should strike at gaddafi? >> yes. once you engage air power you should use air power in the most effective way. you don't need to send in ground forces. we have been supporting and sustaining egyptian, moroccan, j

greta gerwig, the great helen mirren. >> oh, helen mirren.er, do you? that's english for -- [ whistles ] [ laughter ] >> jimmy: i do, i do. i think she's awesome. i love helen mirren. >> i do as well, jimmy. >> jimmy: but she -- the movie is so fun and, of course, it's based on "arthur," the dudley moore classic. >> exactly, i really loved that. that was one of my favorite movies growing up. "arthur." i loved it because it was so naughty and cheeky and dudley moore is so funny and brilliant and drunk. and i love that. and i think -- actually -- i think it meant that i spent the next 20 years thinking it was fun to be an alcoholic. >> jimmy: yeah! [ light laughter ] and it is, i should say. >> that's the message. i'll tell it, jim. it's definitely fun. >> jimmy: but man oh man, in this movie, you get to two so many fun things in this movie. grand central station, is that fake or were you actually in there by yourself? >> we -- there's a scene where me and the brilliant greta gerwig have a date in grand central station and we filmed it in the m

the bigger question for me, greta, what is consequence of that in the marketplace? don't think that helps home valuation. it may address a particular problem for a particular consumer but from a market approach it is not i think the best course, and lastly when you look at the legal problems with that, you're talking about someone that has got a security interest in a home. these, are just servicers of notes. these five institutions we're talking about, they service the notes. they don't own the notes. they are not the lienholder. someone they're doing on behalf of. if you come in and write the note down from 200,000, from 100,000, you have secured interest being devalued without any kind of recourse. that is the problem. that is not good for the marketplace. >> host: scott pruitt, proponents of this idea say it is good for the marketplace because it would help keep the homeowner in the house and help keep the value of that mortgage for investors. it would retain more value than it would in foreclosure. >> there is a process for that. it is foreclosure. that is what

caller: good morning, greta. a couple of comments. it sounds like the critics of nuclear plants that are on the air this morning are being relatively short sighted. everybody is speaking about the dangers of what might happen with a meltdown and so on and so forth. but everybody in the process ignores the fact that with all the other energy sources that we have, we are having potential global warming and co2 saturation, which will hurt people in the future. everybody is worrying right now about putting the few people -- hertz in japan rather than worrying about those in the future when they say that nuclear facilities are dangerous. of course, also, building nuclear plants right next to the seashore in japan is similar to putting 800,000 people at a below sea level area in new orleans. something is ultimately bound to go wrong. of course, here, the nuclear facilities withstood the earthquake but the tsunami and up -- ended up -- host: japan by the numbers. "the new york times" reports that japan that the economy is worth about $5 tril

i know greta was upset when the bush tax cuts were passed.nyway, if the federal government took 100% of what people like me may, over $500,000, it is still not paying for what obama has brought up in the spending of the federal government. you need to give us all break their, their (mr. forbes, -- a break, girl mr. forbes, how will we get this straight? i am one of these guys that worked hard all my life, put four companies together, and it is being destroyed right now? by whom? it is the federal government, and more specifically the community organizer in the white house. he has never even run a lemonade stand, and he is going to tell me how run my business. host: steve forbes, who would -- steve, we like to see run against 20 -- see run against president obama in 2012? caller: i would vote for donald duck before i vote for president obama again. host: is there a republican candidate you are leaving -- leaning toward? caller: we need the government to get out of our hair. host: steve forbes? guest: i am looking into 2012 field, and one of th

fairfield, 78. 74 up in clearlake and greta says thank goodness spring is finally here. >> very warm on thursday. carry some of that free know -- into friday and then we cool it down over the weekend. >>> your time now is 8:10. the radiation in that sea water near that damaged japanese nuclear plant is more than 3,000 times above normal. nuclear safety officials say that's proof that more contaminated water is getting into the ocean. however, they are saying it does not pose and immediate health threat. the president of that nuclear plant has been hospitalized because of high blood pressure from all of the stress dealing with this crisis. >>> we're gonna take you live to washington, d.c. there is a senate hearing going on right now, dealing with nuclear safety in the united states. you are looking at the testimony happening right now of all of this surrounds the information about the nuclear plants in japan after the earthquake and tsunami. this is live testimony in washington, d.c. we'll bring you more details as they are available. >>> rebel forces in lib ya are now asking for weap

have a question for greta and peter. -- greg and peter. what about the repeal of the davis-bacon act. there's a similar law and the state of missouri which you are addressing. and then i have one more question for the fairtax issue. it is more of an observation. take away the power to write the tax code and you would give the power back to the people. and that is the situation that most people do not understand. and i would appreciate your responses. >> prevailing wage is a serious issue. at the federal level, it is called davis-bacon, and in the states is called prevailing wage. the system is set up theoretically to in -- to enjoy a fair wage. they can be union wages. along with the union wage, the union work >> going through all that paperwork and tracking all of that is the unions. everybody else, the nonunion contractors try to make money and actually do their work. you end up with a situation where union elected bureaucrats are administering the system that basically forces anybody doing government contracting work to live by the unio

good morning greta the senate voting today. you can watch the coverage beginning at noon eastern on c- span2. good morning. caller: the better be getting our jobs back from foreign countries or charging a tariff on the surplus. nobody makes -- we need fair trade. we do not need protective trade, fair trade. if they import 20 million, ship 20 million or otherwise they have a tariff on the difference. a bunch of people out of jobs. host: on the republican line, a viewer -- cleveland, ohio. the democrats' line. good morning, maxine. caller: good morning to laurie. i certainly agree with her 100 percent. host: i am certainly sure it is warmer where she is then in ohio. caller: what i wanted to remind everybody is this massive propaganda machine we have going in this country that's got the people confused. you always hear, well, you are not serious about cutting the deficit unless you an attack -- attack entitlements. i did not think it is serious if you did not attack a corporate welfare. i did not believe that they take our hard e

greta, i would really appreciate at some future time if you would put up on the screen what the taxesre for other countries and relative to ours. but what i really called for -- i agree with you. i'm a democrat. but i think what you're saying today is really right on. so i'm not trying -- you blame the taxes for the corporations as a reason for their going outside of the united states. guest: let's talk for a minute about what are the taxes on american corporation. we're the only country in the world that has a worldwide tax system. so if you pay money, if you have a plant in germany and you pay germany for the taxes there. if you want to bring the net profit home after that. then we're going to charge you taxes on it. so the taxes never come home. they leave the money over there. they invest the money in a new plant over there rather than building a plant here, otherwise they have to pay 25%. on the must be they bring home so they can have more money by never bringing the money overwhelm. -- there's only one country in the world that has a higher corporate tax rate than we do. only o

caller: good morning, greta, and rep karen bass i think the woman that just chatting about the negatives on the c-span network needs another cup of coffee, for crying out loud. rep bass you have admitted that you are a newcomer in washington, and you do not have the knowledge, and that is understandable -- host: i said i did not have the personal experience. [laughter] caller: go ahead, where is your personal experience lacking? guest: what i said is that i have been in congress for a short period of time, so why did not have the personal experience of being here through other interventions, and i look forward to consulting my colleagues to find out what was the back story, what was happening behind the scenes and other interventions? in the meantime, i have consulted experts, and on research. we are fortunate. we have an office called the congressional research service, where you can ask virtually any question, and you will be provided a ton of documents and access to scholars who can answer questions about specific things. caller: thank you for that explanation. let's talk about somet

caller: greta? i would like to comment on the nuke problems. if you factor in the amount of fossil fuel it takes to extract uranium, process it, and store it and build the infrastructure of these plants and maintain them, nuclear power is a net loss. regarding to three mile island -- they say there were no loss of lives. dr. sternglass did an investigation of the hospital records of the maternity wards after the three mile island disaster a couple of years, and there was an excess of thousands of miscarriages in the hospital down wind from three mile island. so, nuclear power is a disaster. newt gingrich quoted a few days ago saying we have to build smaller nuke plans. i am wondering who is paying his salary. host: you would stop altogether? no. call -- caller: probably the best nuclear physicist in the world -- nuclear power is a disaster. the pollution is here for eternity. we cannot go with this technology. host: hang on the line. a piece by william tucker in "the wall street journal." how nuclear power will lead the agreement allusion and a

greta, what is clear is that if gaddafi goes into ben ghazi -- >> what is clear is that if adopted goes into ben ghazi, the time for action is now. in terms of reconstruction, humanitarian aid, the secretary will be leading a cross government troops -- group to make sure that we are doing everything we can to get humanitarian aid to a report of the country and plan for the future. >> gaddafi, knew he was about to be indicted for war crimes for sierra leone. he well understands the reach of international criminal law. will he make -- will my hon. friend make it clear that it is not just gaddafi that stands at risk of being indicted by the icc where all those around him responsible for war crimes? >> an extremely good point. the we are making sure that gaddafi and his committee colleagues know they are in danger of going in front of the icc, but also the regime is in danger. and added to that, anyone who thinks he is a mercenary, organizing and mercenaries -- or organizing mercenaries faces the same. >> i supported the freedom struggle of the libyan people and i support the u.n., but i ha
