that was hubert humphrey. but i think last, the most important thing to point out about hubert hum frirks is that he was, above all things, an optimist. and to this day, the senate, according to our colleagues, has never seen anyone quite like him, bursting with energy, idealism and hopeful in a happy warrior. i have a picture of the happy warner hanging in my front office and it hangs there in a visible place for a good reason. it's because i'm convinced that now, more than ever, our nation needs a good dose of the hope and optimism that defined hubert humphrey's life. the truth is that we have to go back decades to find a time when we were confronted with so many challenges. two difficult wars, a crashing debt load, our quest end to our dependence on foreign oil, and develop our own home-grown energy. the way we dhoos address these challenges will determine the course of our nation for decades to come. history will tell whether we are right or wrong, timid or courageous. i believe we must choose courage but

humphrey hawksley, bbc news. >> of course, we've had also, as well as all the political reaction around world, we've had market reaction. jamie? >> yes, as you can see, it's a reflection of what the country we've been interviewing, they're showing that kind of optimism, which has come through on the markets. the u.s. dollar has rebounded. stock markets have his known asia and europe after president obama announced that osama bin laden had been killed. oil prices slid more than 1%. safe haven such as gold and silver, they also lost value. let's find out more from our chief economist at the bank in saudi arabia. he joins us via webcam. can you tell us why the markets have reacted this way? >> well, this is a knee-jerk reaction, jamie. the dollar is rebounding a little bit. of course because it's the u.s. that is involved in capturing and killing osama bin laden. stocks will probably appreciate, especially in the u.s. we've seen asia going up today only because the more riskier assets in times like this go up, so definitely i think we're going to see the short-term jubilation, but of cours

had there been nothing like that hubert humphrey would have won and my argument is that shakes things loose. if you imagine, as one history of that campaign that mayor richard daley was prepared to endorse bobby, he thought the war a disaster on every ground including political. what happens to the demonstrations? you don't have thousands of people. you have marginalize radical protests. that is very different. what about president johnson? would he have been so angry that his nemesis was repeating that he might try to get the nomination back? that sounds pretty absurd except in real life he did. there were five johnson operatives at the chicago convention including postmaster general and chief political guy. johnson's plan was to announce a soviet summit, fly to chicago, give a speech and think maybe he could shake those delegates lose. at an end his people said this is not going to work. if he did that without robert kennedy as a potential nominee you have to imagine or i have to imagine, the reason johnson didn't do this was the soviet union mated czechoslovakia, no way to announce

i do think if not hubert humphrey would have won the big state politicians america meant it is it shakes things louis and if you imagine as one history suggests mayor richard daley was prepared to endorse bobby he thought the war was a disaster and every ground but what happens to the demonstrations in chicago? we don't have thousands and thousands of people but you have radical protesters that is very different what about president johnson? would he be so angry when nemesis was competing he would try to and get the nomination back? he did in real life. there were operatives in johnson's plan was to announce a soviet summit to fly to chicago to give a speech and think maybe he could shake the delegates to use in india and his people said it will not work. but if you did that without robert kennedy as a potential nominee you just have to mention what he would do the reason johnson didn't do that is the soviet union invaded czechoslovakia's up. there was no way to announce the summit. a lot plays through but in talking about what is in this book, and grounded in what i think israel is a sc

chris humphreys. now they're saying -- she can make millions off this. they're going to televise the wedding. and the buildup to the wedding. 20-carat ring. my dream has died of being with kim. it's over. >> would you have bought her a 20-carat ring? >> whatever kim wants. yes. i would, i would have tried my best. trust me. >> there you guys are on the hot date that one time. >> the other big news, hotty mcscotty wins "american idol," right, scotty mchotty. he is 17 years old which makes him the youngest person to ever win "idol." >> look at this. i love that. his parents are there. look at his dad. his dad started crying. >> congrats to him. >> nutri-system released a survey about the hottest bodies here. according to men the perfect woman would have j-lo's lean legs and back side, first lady's arm, jessica alba's flat abs. the perfect man would have vin diesel's arms and matthew mcconaughey's abs. that or the result of that poll. >> what about the bongo drums? >> baby arms. all that. that's the perf

"people" magazine broke the news she's engaged to chris humphreys.together for about six months. humphreys popped the question with a 20.5k arat ring. it cost around $2 million. considering humphreys is reportedly only taking home about $3.2 million this season i'm wondering what my buddy suzie orman who say about that situation a $2 million rock. >> they've only been going together for six months. are these people crazy? >> didn't want to place any judgment on that. love is a strange and fickle thing. kim following in the foot steps of her sister who married a laker star. all i can do is wish them reality tv happiness in their marriage all around and you want to bet that this wed is going to wind up on tv or as big as a royal wedding given that ring size. >> bet you. thanks so much. want information breaking in the entertainment world, a.j. has it. >>> coming up, a trend. first the political buddy team of george bush and tony blair and now our president, our current president and the new british prime minister acting very chummy. what's up with this

summer romance, humphrey bogart. lauren bacall. they set sail and tied the knot later that year.nd suntan lotion on the beach. an umbrella on the golf course, audrey hepburn. that famous image of elizabeth taylor. recognize norma jean baker. later bombshell, marilyn monroe. and a rocking summer with elvis presley. performance on "american bandstand" taking place a few months earlier. and finally, a warm summer night on coney island. that's the broadcast for tonight. we're always online at abcnews.com. don't forget "good morning america" with dan and bianna i'll see you back here tomorrow night. good night. >> alan: good evening. everyone. if you're hitting the road for the long weekend, be ware. caltrans has closed one lane on the eastbound side of the bay bridge as crews gear up for construction of the new eastern span. here more on the construction and whether delays are expected. >> reporter: we don't know about delays expect it right now in tumors tumors tumors of -- in terms of construction because it's raining. but these lanes are going to be shifted to the south so caltran

. >> this wonderful ice present, hubert humphrey was called the happy warrior and just a wonderfully energetic and appealing person, he was vice president and he had just come back from vietnam. vietnam is increasingly becoming a major political factor in the country cannot be my first ran in 62, but by then i suppose of 64 or 66 -- >> i think 65. >> so president johnson was getting complaints that members of congress didn't feel they were being informed about the war. and so -- >> how ever they could have said such a thing? >> i know it. so he invited the members of congress down to the white house come and we all went down, at least a large number went down to 101 and 50 of us. and it was winter as i recall. the invitation came late and we went in, and it's not nothing for young congressman to be sitting in the white house getting briefed by the president and the vice president just coming back from vietnam. and hubert humphrey start to give a briefing, and lyndon baines johnson was commander-in-chief couple and he was bigger than life. he would pop up every time someone would say

the book, but before i wrote a words of it, and joe's been a terrific help from day one, author humphrey helped and he gave freely of his time and knowledge once i was able to lanch on to him, and i say latch, but maybe more of a blood sucking parasite. [laughter] while i'm digressing at the beginning, i should also add that one of the problems i faced in the book from the beginning was who to refer to john chapman and when to refer to him as johnny appleseed. in general, chapman refers to the historical figure and appleseed to the myth he became, but the two are to intertwined that it gets worse than misty i'm afraid. i'll try to hold to that in these comments. back to where we are, urbana the city and the university, both are -- as all of you know, are bursting with appleseed connections. he met with the attorney to discuss possible legal proceedings concerning one of his or chards, a rare moment when a figure steps out from behind the curtain and lets us have a good look at him. he paced the room and chewed on nuts. john james for his part donated the land in which this college rose i

word of it and show has been atrophic hope from day one, one of the johnny appleseed society arthur humphrey come if you don't know who he is, has done wonderful research in the research on chapmans interruption to emanuel swedenborg at church of the new jerusalem and also gave freely of his time and knowledge once i was able to latch onto him. i say let's although might be more a bloodsucking parasite. he was very generous with his time and knowledge. and while i digress at the beginning, i should also add one of the problems they face in this book from the beginning was when to refer to title character as john chapman and which refer to them as johnny appleseed. in general, chapman refers to the historical figure i'll appleseed to the myth that he became. the two were so intertwined that the distinction gets misty and sometimes a little worse than misty i'm afraid. that is generally what i'm trained to hold to hear in these comments. back to where we are -- urbana the city and the danube university, and so if you know actually are bursting with chapman appleseed's connections. urbina was v

and iended up finding this great boxing coach, earl blair, my training partner derek humphrey and we fght together almost every night that ias in college. >> did you continue that when you went to oxford? >> i did. i went to oxford and oxford had a great boxing team and a really good boxing program and had a great coach there as well, henry dean. >> you alssaid at oxford you found the kind of joy about learning and about the pursuit of the poetry of life. >> yeah. one of the tngs that was so great about oxford was that even when i was doing a masters gree, you didn't have to do a t of, you know, there wasn't this constant daily pressure behi the academic work. you were free to pursue anything that you wanted to do. and all you had to do at the end of the two years was to show up and pass an exam. so as long as you were on track to do that you can could pursue whatever international interests you had. and combined with that oxford had these long breaks so i could leave oxford and go to work with mother tesa's missionaries of charity. i could go to cambodia and work with kids who lost

at one point google and apple looked like they would be humphrey bogart and claude raines in casablanca, a beautiful friendship and steve jobs felt it was great because they were totally complementary. they had no products to compete and they could take on microsoft as a duo. but google saw-- and you can see how they saw this-- they saw their future depended on mobile because the searches people did increasingly were on those smart phones, right? and the day is coming very soon where more searches will be on smart phones than on laptops and desktops. so google felt it was important for them to go into that market and they didn't inform steve jobs fully enough for steve's liking and i think he felt betrayed when he saw that the phone that they were developing looked a lot like the iphone. >> rose: so what happened to eric schmidt who was on the board of apple. >> there was a period where eric had to excuse himself from apple board meetings when they discussed the phone. because it was clear that google was developing a phone system of its own. what steve jobs didn't know, apparently, was

humphrey is calye. on the next page, caley lantz. same age. we didn't get an immediate answer to why his name appears twice. since we got this list we were told by his mother she has had a positive identification of lantz and he is deceased. other families are complaining they're not allowed to go to a secret mortgage set up where the federal government has a team of forensic specialists trying to identify bodies. >> why not let people into the morgue to look at bodies under your supervision? >> the team has several mechanisms to positively identify individuals. that is the most important thing. in a catastrophic event, we want to make sure that we don't make mistakes. so fingerprints, dna, medical records so that the family members can get some solace. >>> a federal official told me a short time ago that another key reason why they're not letting people go into that morgue is often in these situations, an accurate visual id is not possible. he says sometimes family members do make an incorrect identification, and that leads to more problems.

john kennedy, hubert humphrey, frank and roosevelt, teddy roosevelt, dwight eisenhower -- all card-carryingbers of the nra. today, it is different because of the ideological divide in the country. if we were completely successful, and i do not expect this to happen on my watch, the day we and we come to both parties, liberals and conservatives can agree that -- the day when we can come to both parties, liberals and conservatives agreeing, we will just move on. host: name two things that obama has done that demonstrate he does not support the second amendment. guest: since he has been in office, the president has not made an attempt in the course -- because it cannot win a direct assault on the second amendment in the congress, partly because of the 65 democrats in the house that are with us. after the 2010 election. one of the great threats to american gun owners comes from international activities, treaties and the like. that was the public delegate appointed by president bush to the last u.n. small arms conference. that conference was stopped in its tracks because the state department too

to say as frank sinatra always sang about your, if we can do it in the land of mondale and humphrey and. senator al franken, we can do it anywhere. [applause] it was not easy. with all due respect to other people in public office, some of them need a little encouragement. pushing them back up against the wall metaphorically matters. i had the first government shut down under my watch i minneso in the 150 year history of the state. i set record for vetoes in my state single season and won the most in history. the cato institute is a libertarian organization. they gave only four governors in the country an a. louisiana, west virginia, and minnesota. i am proud of that. [applause] i just want to share with you in the minute i have left, working in the mills was not easy. working in the meatpacking plant or driving a truck was not easy. of course, when you see those big plants shut down in manchester or south st. paul and the faces of unemployment in your communitynd disruptions to your family and community, you see things not as a budget number, but as a matter of a mily and of the bargain

as i discussed in more detail in my humphrey-hawkins testimony in the beginning of march, between late august when i first indicated that the federal reserve was seriously considering this an additional step, and earlier this year, not only the federal reserve but many outside forecasters, upgraded their forecasts. we saw strengthening labor market conditions, higher rates of payroll, job creation, etc. now, the conclusion therefore is that the second round of securities purchases could only be validated if one thought that this step was a panacea, that it was going to solve all the problems and return us to full employment overnight. we were clear from the beginning that while we thought this was an important step, at an important time when we were worried about a double dip, worried about deflation, we were very clear that this was not going to be a panacea, that it was only going to turn the economy in the right direction. we published some analytics which gave job creation numbers which were significant but not enough to completely solve the enormous jobs problem that we have. agai

. >> in his humphrey? >> i'm trying to understand media it's not enough time to explain it but i felt the federal law required the kerlikowske business, whatever that review is. and i was worried about the e3 view because it seemed to me in 20% of the cases where the notice is this guy is not authorized we don't have a record that he's offered by some 20% are wrong and he is authorized to work so the impleader who follows that is really going to fire 20% of the people who will be absolutely entitled to work. so i would like you to address those. >> let me walk through how it works to see if this addresses the concerns. arizona doesn't change anything in terms of the use of the i-9. we've retain the same defense in the federal law for which the compliance with the i-9. we require using the e-verify of the we don't impose a sanction on the employer if they don't use -- >> you claim that e-verify because this is a federal resources and the federal government has said we want this to be voluntary. how can ariz
