i mean i think it's a very fine. i mean i think i think he mentioned the the introduction that you also did want to talk about this issue of democracy and you know often there's a conflation between. the markets you don't think the two are necessarily good hand in hand. in fact a lot of aspects of neoliberal economics. i would say somewhat anti-democratic you know who's making decisions on social services and so on and so i mean i think that there is there is still one important aspect of this government. kind of. ok if i'm going to princeton back in washington here i mean where where is the data and you know there's a lot of criticism of the west of it in its promotion of its its version of democracy in the world and again this is kind of matched with economic models where we see. the united states for example under george w. bush pushing very very heavily for forced regime change in the name of democracy i mean does that give the devalue the currency of democracy when it is being forced upon another country and a l

well i think i mean i agree fundamentally with princeton i do think that. this is an indictment of a certain economic model and it's not going to change immediately think we're going to see change gradually and i mean the one problem with their present. kind of mean it's very difficult for countries to just do it on their home so i think there's going to have to be some sort of global consensus what we may see is the countries you're speaking about may have much more see the consensus is but i don't think that it necessarily is going to change thoughts about the need for accountable governments and law because that's one of the only ways you're going to be able to get the best medical care you're nodding your head there i mean what do you think this is an example of and why it's kind of a strong word maybe hypocrisy again you know the west had certain rules and regulations we look at the i.m.f. we look at the world bank and then they look at these countries like china that while a nominally communist country bailed out capitalism over the last twenty one mo

united states do not believe in the embargo ok so i think that people really talk about all right i mean i do. i do you want a friend because i like to point out a lot of these foreign policy issues are really not foreign policy they're domestic issues ok there's a number of kind of like i'd like to look like use like you israel is like that to it or or even find the war in afghanistan is like nobody wants to lose it domestically ok it's not no one cares about afghans and washington so you know is it really the last use you know which is they demand they stay with cuba sorry i went off track is it really remains to be politics good frankly yeah well you know yeah first of all i mean this is a very interesting program. in the sense that there's no new and says about a disloyal a black and white nobody cares about afghanistan and you know that's not quite true only on the case of the congressman that is the view of the cuban government ladies and gentlemen if you want to know how he would where can you be ok. if you know it's not true and let me tell you why that's not true is to have is f

ok and it's the eternal pessimist i'm afraid i mean the what the head of nato had to say right there is going to happen i believe because it's all in the you know policy on afghanistan is not being made in kabul it's being made in washington and it's all about not foreign policy it's about politics ok obama's choices are very limited right now could we see the repeat of history. well yes i think so but i have to say i mean first on such of nato i mean nato is already leaving yes i mean you have this again saying we we are in afghanistan what date what is it what do you i do you know what's the we now know what's that we can solve it you know what it is in afghanistan effectively as a coalition of the willing as usual mostly britain and america and britain by now i mean the rest are doing the minimum possible to maintain a relationship with the united states which keeps the united states in europe which they still regard as essential in a way which some of them will candidly admitted private this is not really about afghanistan at all it's all about european countries believing that th

ok well i don't know i mean that's a quote that any historian will tell you but let me say this. well i'm not sure and sorry i don't walk around oh i can i would have thought ok frank ok you know i'd like to point out i'd like to point out frank that mcgill's analogy even though it is with mexico still does apply to cuba go ahead frank go ahead and that's a that's a very famous quote about mexico and i don't know if it applies to cuba that his view well he percent at that as have five quote about cuba and as iranians as mistaking as it is mistaken to say that the way of dealing with this is to send tours to cuba my friends think they should all know their fire speak for themselves millions of canadians millions of spaniard and many other people have gone to cuba sending tours to cuba means gave him money to castro's banks and not to the cuban people the idea of blaming the victims of blame in their refugee i'm sorry oh blaming the refugees that's a line of a cuban government that calls people like me traitors cia agents warmish they could be the spanish word for embargo is embargo

do you know what i mean? like, that's the error there's been. i'm not blindly making fun of, like-- "reagan's got a neck like a turkey. barbara bush looks like the quaker oat man." you know what i mean? like, that's nonsense. i'm not gonna attack anyone for the way they look. if i've got something to say about politics, i've got something to say about what i perceive to be the dissemination of disinformation or what feels like lies to me or clearly taking advantage of the american public. as i said last night, every time a politician says, "the american people are not stupid," they're mocking us. you know, they're banking on our ignorance and apathy. and again, i say we're like ignorance; people are like, "what do you mean? what i mean by ignorance is, you're not given the information. you're not privy to the information. i'm not calling you stupid, you know? but politicians sure bank on your stupidity. they bank on your apathy. that's how political careers are built. what you say is certainly not a salute to

it disturbs me yes but at the same time i mean we're in a really not such a great situation with the economy we're nearing one point seven trillion dollars and in terms of the federal deficit so i can understand why some of these guys on wall street might want to be entertained by a girl with the bump but you know interesting take fitting clothes i mean we can show you need to get cheered up when we can show just how entertaining she is we have a little clip of play. like you know always down to party but this is a really serious matter for me i went to school to be a vet tech yes animals have always been my passion i only have one semester last until i was a license that tax and the oil spill it's really really affecting these animals and i feel like nobody realizes that you know is it true. all right so yes very deep words coming from snooki and yet she sold out whatever the new york stock exchange in terms of guest passes i had you know other people other famous people in history that have also rang the opening bell really people like nelson mandela so what does that tell you about

none of them have commented on it i think i mean partly with the responses i've gotten from the u.s. military is as i said to you that there are no direct. evidence there is no direct evidence that this is the result of the bombings but more than that they really i mean it's a can of worms if you start discussing what particular weapons are actually resulting in it doesn't and then you know there are so many different types of weapons that are having disastrous effects on civilians that could you know only civilians when you've got the environment and other other cases so they've been very reluctant to even discuss it and this is the problem of accountability one of the things that again white phosphorous became very well known especially after the gaza war the fact that it's used against millions and there are certain things that are not allowed by international law and this is where you can actually hold people accountable according to international but again they've been very careful not to get involved and that's one of the issues that the american military raises that there has b

this sort of a talent that you can't train it's just have to be born with all it's all these roller i mean if you tearing through the woods i have a special talent to drive this car three hundred kilometers humor is different as it. is different maybe maybe not maybe or maybe not to be honest. i just at this stage where the team was built around the groove is human and you have the best car of the paddock clearly but when he came you remember that when he came to two ferrari three was nothing and he said in three years we'll make it the best and he had me and he did yes but it's not only is a work of one on one guy you know it's a world team and it's a five by system it was more a ton of people in ferrari we all work together to make the team better. well recently formula one has started opening new circuits so now it is a serious kids in the emirates and in china well all over the world from canada to to malaysia here what do you think what do you think about russia and russia has as we saw as has long been trying to get a formula one formula one track what's the problem with with with ma

points i mean the voice can be heard i think of people are free to express an opinion. we must be careful that people do not express opinions which are dangerous to patients so we have seen in russia some you know religious fundamentalists denying that there would be a hiv and it was god's punishment that had to be accepted by the patients we don't think it's a way of having a constructive relationship with people living with hiv and helping them in their fight against the disease i consider unfortunately professor to specs opinion a feeling of the same vein what is clear in this conference here in vienna we have more than twenty thousand people and i can tell you this a very lively debates happening all the time with demonstrations and lot of opinions expressed but no one is saying anything like denying the role of hiv in creating or saying that the drugs are dangerous for people actually there is really a kind of a universal movement to make sure that people access treatment it's what saves them professor bring about a man and what it will how do you react to that is

you might be but i mean i think you know psychologically there's a connection there with that kind of outlaw mentality and there's something there something new about if the government tries to make the new york times reveal the source their source is going to julian assange and not where i think the government's a little bit more of a grain of the new york times in these you know and likewise there spiegel the guardian you know depend on their home governments are a little bit more afraid of messing with them than with julian but julian's a moving target it's almost like john the john dillon tour of the media in the twenty first century becomes a folk hero still an outlaw but people will will will not aspire to him but. the thought that being strange kinship with this guy that they might not with the times but you know you say if the government perhaps might be afraid to go. after the new york times and these big media organizations but are there just as afraid to go after the government they're just as afraid well that a majority of the time to question anything so you know in some

well i mean you know . let me let me disclose something here i am not an atmospheric scientist i am not an atmospheric scientist that is an international panel it's the who is who of international atmosphere scientists ocean ocean scientist natural scientists and international panel it's the who is who of who has something to say ok and they come to very clear reports and i just want people who watch this program to look at these reports as very good summaries easy to understand summaries those are not all amiss though this is mainstream science ok number one and number two. in the last fifteen years there hasn't been one single let me read people's one single article out there that that made it past by a peer review board that's actually doubting two things either that it's the temperature is warming and that this is recorded and secondly the human cost greenhouse gases are the main culprit for this that's not going on and article i explained i was right to know about you is like i mean like like me like no

well yes i think so but i have to say i mean first on such of nato i mean nato is already leaving you i mean you have this again saying we we are in afghanistan what date what is it why do you know why do we still we now know what's that we can solve it you know what it is in afghanistan effectively as a coalition of the willing as usual mostly britain and america and britain by now i mean the rest are doing the minimum possible to maintain a relationship with the united states which keeps the united states in europe which they still regard as essential in a way which some of them will candidly admitted private this is not really about afghanistan at all it's all about european countries believing that they still depend on american security terms and therefore have to help america but as you say in the end the decisions will be made in washington and the question for obama will be the balance between on the one hand the growing unpopularity and seeming hopelessness of the war but on the other hand of course the aid the damage to his administration which would come from the appearance

you to fly the airplane i mean since i wrote it. i think it's something nothing in common not is not possible. but i don't want to say the name of the car but it's three or five or ten steps more when have you first. got behind the wheels and drove a car how old will you. and you know when you got five as far as you started driving was it your dad's car with me it was a goalie i was a little louder. or i will start to go under the steering wheel. here and then come back just to see it go in have you have you ever being pulled over by police and the did you ever lose your license now never not because i don't like to go fast on the note about all because what you. can load so for example. if it's one hundred thirty enough to run ok go another thirty if you go to one hundred you have risk you can then you can crash you can get the engine off for another people if i tell you know what i mean i prefer to not to go ok thank you thank you very much vitale eric thank you very much bill c.b. africa having coming here to us and just to remin

>> i mean, i think they do. mean, i think it's -- it's become a media frenzy to kind of feed on people's personal lives. and some people put their personal lives out there. they like to share all that with the public. i'm not that person. i'm happy being, you know, just la. when i walk out of this studio, i'm just la. i'm just dana. and i enjoy just being dana. i don't need to be queen latifah, the brand, 24 hours a day. >> larry: who came up with the queen bit? >> i did, thank you. i'm pretty good at coming up with things like that, larry. >> larry: one day sitting around and you said, i think my name is going to be queen? >> this might sound crazy, but i was 8 years old. and my cousin, shiranda, brought this muslim book of names over. and each name had a meaning to it. so when i read the name latifah, it said, delicate, sensitive, kind, nice. and i was 8 years old. but i was big for my age. i was usually like the biggest girl in class. but i was a teddy bear on the inside. i was all those things, delicate, sen

you know what i mean? -- we have something about us that i think -- we just have this thing and we're able to move around the world. everywhere i go, i seem to run into somebody from jersey, and they seem to know that -- we all seem to know we're from jersey, for some reason. >> larry: do you mind the reality shows? >> i mean, it's just a reality show. aren't they all reality shows? >> larry: what, are they cheap? easy to put on. >> i don't know, larry. whatever you say, man. whatever you say. you tell me. >> larry: i don't understand at all. >> people like watching other people's lives. that's just what it is. this was predicted to happen a long time ago, and now it's here, and people just really are fascinated by watching other people's lives. i think, you know, shows like "the real housewives of jersey a" entertaining. i did mike the situation, lives like ten minutes in jersey. ever get a flat. call me. i'll come fix a tire. that's how we do. that's neighbor lady, you know? >> larry: a lot of prejudices

i mean this was entirely predictable. they passed a series of bills that were major pieces of legislation but which were unpopular. i think the strategy from a lot of democrats was we're going to take our hits but over the next generation we'll have health care, we'll have financial reform, we'll have the big spending that comes out of the stimulus. we'll have all the stuff but wel take hits. that is the calculus we're going to make. it has been obvious for a year or two that this stuff was unpopular and would cost democrats in the fall. >> lehrer: unpopular you mean in the larger country. >> in the larger country. so this was the decision made, and so the country has reacted as the way it was obviously going to react from the past year, people were very suspicious of the increase in spending and the increase in the role of government and they're going to take it out on the democratic party. now you could argue if you are a democrat it's worth it. we're going to do badly this time but we have these major pieces of legislat

that i ever met with middle age women in tweets i mean there's not actually. anything like an entrapment so i think i'm chatman with that short of a looking over right shoulder. to really really turn on the media but let's face it i think anna chapman ever either. seduced you know as a senior officer or slept with a politician or secured any blinding piece of information a boss don't the most go so. i rather hope that as she seems to want to come back here to live in britain which you did five years and that she's a british national because she married a british. i hope that they allow her to come back was a spy anymore and why shouldn't she come back i i take a light hearted view of the whole episode because i just i don't think any any real damage was done to the us i want to bring. mr chapman a question. what would you think about this is a plot for a novel who would make a wonderful comedy novel yes. almost a comedy of errors. and i think i could have readers laughing at the whole idea of crazy as being all spies what they used to be. quite so what they use

i mean time i tarried.w for nine sport following a one nil win at home to me so that all makes for interesting men heading home to be the winner for staff at tara good had chances good chances to increase their league i would be three points for them. before tonight iscar moscow are in action and could go second with the window below the creosote get off while start now just below the army men in the take home bottom side to. an ice hockey. and pages of boosted their bid to lay their hands in the coveted guarin cup after their veteran forward election yashin signed a one year extension to his contract with the northern side of the thirty six year old is a former world champion and double elim pick medalist for russia joined a scar last season but failed to help him go any further in the last sixteen skaar have boasted best since signing swedish matteis been handled and tony mortensen as well as experienced russian goalkeeper you're getting a call from the new k.h. l season starts on the eighth of september.

i mean, i think that's an obvious thing. would you watch "hardball" if you didn't care what i thought? >> but does that mean the whole "i should consider every program either opinion or news? >> on msnbc, starting at 5:00 at night, i would assume commentary would drive the show. i would assume that now on all cable shows, and the ones that don't have a show with this commentary, which is strong, they're dying. >> another question from our audience. >> discuss how you feel about the urgent overtaking the important. >> the urgent--i guess you mean ratings. we're always aware of ratings, sir. we get them every afternoon at 4:00 for the day before. i don't always see a comparison of any value between the numbers the day before and what we did the day before. my view is give 'em information where there's poll numbers, something they didn't know. i have a thing on my sunday show, "tell me something i don't know." i really think 90% of television is still giving people something they didn't know before they started watching it, or

i mean, i trust dick donner with -- i mean, he's a veteran. i would never, ever presume to have a better way than he has. i mean, it's a different way, i'm sure. and at times -- >> larry: you mean you never want to say, i'd do it this way? >> oh, but we do. it's that kind of relationship. we can go up and hey, dick, what if -- he'll go, yeah, good idea, kid. that's what makes him good because he is wide open. he always says, i'm just a traffic cop here. and i've learned from that. i think that's your function as a director, to take everyone else's talent and try to use the best of it and draw it all together. >> larry: jodie foster said she likes directing better in that it's easier. you're in charge, the ball of wax is yours, you're the sign off, you're it. acting is more difficult. >> in a way, because you have to trust more. when you're the ringmaster there, there is -- it's pretty comfortable. i liked it. it's basically just storytelling. and if you can tell a good story and use those tools to do it, and have a lot of talented people to com

i mean time i tarried i would like moscow for nine spot following a one nil win at home to i assume that thanks for the testing then heading home what seemed to be the winner in the first pass at tara good had chances good chances to increase that they would be three points for that. for most people tonight iscar moscow are in action and could go second with the winner below the creosote get off while start now just below the army men in the take home bottom side. and i saw. some pages back of boosted that bid to lay the hands on the coveted guarin cup after that veteran forward lexi yashin signed a one year extension to his contract with the northern side of the thirty six year old is a former world champion and double elim pick medalist for russia to join to discuss a scar last season but failed to help him go any further in the last sixteen skaar have boasted was. since signing swedish matteis been handled and tony mortenson as well as experience. and u.k. jail season starts on the eighth of september. a formula one exhibition event has been held in moscow starring now less than russi

i mean it is just insanity. i wish. >> the way, the way you manage a household, taking into account what every member of the household needs and how to bring them all together is how she has run the house of representatives in washington and done it so well. >> and she's looking at the long-term, not like what's right for the family, for the next ten minutes. >> i couldn't-- so she's spending her grandchildren's inheritance. >> when i look at the 11% approval rating that congress has, it reminded me of when harry truman ran against the do-nothing congress to pass the marshall plan that came up with the precursor to the clean water act. i mean i think this congress has gotten a heck of a lot done. >> but i do want -- to throw one quick thing out there. gallop poll out this week showed that americans are now, it's above 50%, want to ke their democratic in control. so what -- >> republicans are below the democrats in popularity. >> but i read that poll and if you look further into it, yes, on a generic ballot democr

i mean, its has to be. we're in washington, d.c. right now, it was 101 on my car thermometer as i drove over here today. that wasn't what it was 20 years ago. i mean, this is a serious problem and this was a serious effort to do something about it. the house did act on it. i don't think quite honestly given the political climate at this point that it would be tough to pass it in the house today. but jim, i don't know what the atmosphere is going to be necessary to get the senate to vote on the climate change. >> let's separate the broad global warming. i think it's real, but there are two ways to push legislation. there's what i think of as a way al gore did it which is sort of partisan way. then there's the way bono, for example, has pushed some of his foreign aid legislation. and he says if i'm going to be a democrat, i'm going to be a republican. if i'm going to talk to a liberal democrat, i will make friends with jessy helms and bono has made friends with jessy helms, or he did while he was still alive. he took an issue that was
