host: the last call is from huntington, new york, dooley on our republican line. caller: i have a very simple question. in reference to fema. i recall during katrina we kept hearing about fema. i have not heard anybody mentioned fema and what they are go

recently, samuel huntington of died and the occasion of his death. he called him one of the greatest historians of the second half of the 20th century. his parting shot to america was to very openly and question whether latinos would get the knack, the dance steps of being american citizens. he said, there is no americano dream. there is only an american dream and it is an anglo-saxon construction. this is a stunning thing for a historian something -- to say something so a historical. i have long since learned that that kind of thing happens more than we like to admit. i was having a long back-and- forth recently with the director for the center of the immigration studies and we retreating statistics and perspectives on language acquisition, assimilation, criminality. the guy is a cultural warrior and does not come empty-handed to a conversation like this one. he finally pulled me up short with a simple direct question. he said, what is immigration for? he added a -- if you strip away the hand-wringing about preserving the culture and the protectioni

caller: directly between huntington and charleston. host: what you do there? caller: i worked in a distribution warehouse. host: thank you for calling. reno, nevada. caller: as far as savinggmoney and flying coach, he also spent millions of dollars on a highway that went nowhere, spent millions of dollars. he is an example of why we have to have term limits.3 years and there was no way he would ever resigned. nobody ever talks about the fact that he belonged to the kkk and we do not even know what he did and what he belonged to the kkk. i do not think he is as great a man as people say he is. host: born november 20, 1917 in north carolina. his mother died in the flu pandemic, so he was moved to his pandemic, so he was moved to his aunt's house in west virginia, a year old. he was renamed robert byrd that point. he graduated american university he graduated american university in 1963, got his law degree from american university. president kennedy gave him his diploma that year. served in the u.s. house -- served in the state legislature in west virginia from 1

huntington, west -- west virginia. a democratic line. it passed. we are talking about the arkansas said that democrats raised and labor's role in that race. caller: how are you doing? i would like to say first of all, i would like to say c-span set up a channel where you have 44-hour, or 12-hour programming like this. i think it is the most informative program on tv. i would love to say this. i would love to change people's thinking a little bit. people talk about entrepreneurs crating jobs. that is true, in a sense they did. no job is created without demand for product. without people at work, there is no demand. i would also like to make a point of about the way people have always portrayed labor as opposed to business. business can set up a model and they can sell things and make a profit, but labor is basically just acting like these small firms -- wall street firms did, they collect labor pools and sells the labor on the open market through negotiation. that is just doing business. i can understand why people who are all about not restricting

let's go to huntington beach, california, ron, independent line. caller: good morning.t is a very early over here. i am testing for a case of insomnia, and i am glad i did. i would like to very much time into this conversation. basically, i believe, and i think the history of the united states supports it, that the primaries are the most on the democratic future of our electoral system-- the most undemocratic feature of our electoral system. our founding fathers called parties factions and most of the documentation they wrote. the way the electoral system is supposed to work is that districts elect people based on the perceived needs of the people in the district. and it should be an open primary. sort of like what louisiana has were all candidates run against each other -- the first ballot. and then that person goes to washington and compromises, if need be, or create coalitions with other representatives on individual issues. that way you actually get a sense of what the electorate feels like on an individual issue. host: let's go to johnson county, north carolina, de
