what hapned? it finally came apart. why? >>ell, i believe it had come aparearlier than that. reallyhink bill clinton's viory in 1992 sealed the end of serious cservative counterrevolion. we fget that election. it seems like an anoma, but conser, bill clinton won more eltoral votes than barack obama, despitehe presence of one of the most succsful third party candidates, h.oss perot, another texan, in erican history. but that's not the mt importanfact. the mostmportant fact is that george h.wbush got less of the popular vote i1992 than herbert hooverot in 1932. at was really the end. but what happed was the right was so institutional successful that it conolled many of the levers, as y say. so, whatappened in the year 2000? well, the coervatives on the supre court stopped the democric process, put their guy into office. then september 11th came and thright got its full first blanslate. they could do really whaver they wanted. and what we w were those eight years. anthat is the end of idlogical conservatism as a vital formative and contbutive aspect of our politics. >> moyers: w

i we to the secretary of army and we got the money and i don't think anybody uld concde anything hapned ha a so i think i had a reputation being a soldier might have been part of it. being a governor i think helped. i think one of the missions and think the president probably felt this within the new department of homeland serity is a federal departmenbut a national mission. the deral government has to be working with state and locals and police chiefs and private-sector so having a governor who understood those relationships will also have federal experience but maybe when the president rights memoirs he will tell you. kae couric asked me that question one time,oo and i think i gave her the same answer. the a of youtube you could go back and see if i deviate from the text or not. >> could you describe the department of homeland security how many emoys, the size and scope? >> really big. the largest reorganization since the defense department as you pointed out. bits and pieces from over 20 different agencies preisting agencies, 170 to 180,000 people was weere creating a new bureaucracy

but there's more to it because what hapned in american mortgages case, they decided, you know, it's notod enough that we're making the loans and selling them for a quick profit. we are making a good profit but that's not good enough. we think these loans are really actually worth a lot and so what we're going to do, we're going to hold them. but the only way that they could hold them 'cause they weren't really a bank with lots of assets. the only way that they could hold them was to borrow money to hold th. and so what they did starting in 2004 was build up a huge leveraged portfolio of their own riskiest loans specifically something called option arms which are -- were by my reckoning the most evil mrtgages that were created in the entire boom. they're sometimes called pick-a-payment loans. you could pay lots less than the minimum interest and hold onto your house. what you might or might not know if you were doing that is that you were racking up thousands of thousands of dollars every month in additional debt or deferred interest any way. american home mortgage decided that they love

after a major earthque and what we're taking about he is thlargest potential earthquake that would hapn within 1,500 years, t structure would not only continue to stand, bu would serve the blic immediately ter the quake. that's if a massive earthqke doesn't hit before the n bridge is finied in 2013, bari unforseen delays. >> lrer: you can watch other stories about infrastcture our website newshour.pbs.or and follow a link to beprint america, our partnship with wnet inew york among other pbs stations. >>ehrer: finally tonight, four members of congress 111th freshmanlass, and to gwen ifill. >> ifi: there are 35 democrats and 22 republicans in is year's freshmaclass. fore coming to washington, th were mayors, entrepreneurs, engineers, philantopists and teache. and once they arrive they were immediely faced with a recession, an ineasingly unpopular waand a high-decibel health care debate. how are they doing? we'vinvited four freshman to join us here tonight t democrats and twrepublicans. democr jared polis represents colorado's 2nd distric which includes the citieof boulder and vail. the fo
