saying ireland had done more than anyone else to cut their debt. the likes of portugal and greece -- the irish economy was very sound. it really was. it was only the property bubble that got it into trouble. >> ireland was a celtic tiger, not because of its property boon but because it has a highly-educated work force, they are english speaking, they have connections to the u.k. they had a successful targeted foreign-directed investment program focusing on i.t. and pharmaceuticals. all of that still remains. the problem for ireland, for all of its competitiveness, it is still hostage to the broader environmental -- economic environment. >> the government is so optimistic because they think next year they can pay back that 85 billion euros and return to the money markets to raise their own funds. >> thank you, david, very much indeed for that. >> thank you for being with us here on "gmt." >> still to come, the mission in serbia draws to a close and pre the violence goes on. >> critics saying if investors allow this paycut, the country would be saved

he comes from ireland. i would assume that because i think mexicans are half irish, i would assume there's something comparable in ireland to a tamale? >> there's absolutely nothing that compares the tamale. indeed, i don't know whether i should be up here on the platform because i don't know whether i'm an expert tore not. i know what's good and so far the first four are great. >> a-ha. tell us about your performance. you're here in the bay area until new year's. >> yeah. we're starting december 13 through january 1 right downtown in union square. there's a cast of 20 singers and dancers and we're bringing a little bit of ireland for a celtic holiday, a celtic christmas. >> to do what you do, how important is it to develop that diaphragm and make sure that it comes from way down here and -- >> well, you know, obviously you have to be trained. but it has to sound somewhat spontaneous. you know, i don't take it too seriously. i like to have a good time and i like everybody else to have a good time. we encour

steves: the dramatic rock of cashel is one of ireland's most evocative sites. this was the seat of ancient irish kings for seven centuries. st. patrick baptized king aengus here in about 450 a.d. in around 1100, an irish king gave cashel to the church, and it grew to become the ecclesiastical capital of all ireland. 800 years ago, this monastic community was just a chapel and a round tower standing high on this bluff. it looked out then, as it does today, over the plain of tipperary, called the golden vale because its rich soil makes it ireland's best farmland. on this historic rock, you stroll among these ruins in the footsteps of st. patrick, and wandering through my favorite celtic cross graveyard, i feel the soul of ireland.

again, why does google run all their business out of ireland? because other european business gets taxed at 15%. that income stays there, it gets invested there, it doesn't get invested here, if you come boo -- combined and you an allow the american corporations, large 500 guys are responsible for hiring in the united states and big way for high paying jobs, you will see the double combination of huge, trillions of dollars to be repatriated to the united states and investments made to the united states and that lower rate means, by the way, we probably have a dow 15,000 by the time we're done with it, and increases the pie and increases demand. >> brenda: so you've heard this other, this side. you think that lowering the corporate tax rate would be a mistake? >> well, you know, it's not. it's not a mistake in the sense that, it shouldn't be done. i agree with jonas, that the corporate tax rate there is room to lower it provided that you get rid of a lot of leakages that we have currently through deductions and other sorts of things, so i have no

he went to ireland. he told -- england first and then he went to ireland. he told mcmillan that it had been a terrible experience. mcmillan said you have to yield. which was mcmillan's view. khrushchev was just the opposite. he felt wonderful about the meeting. he said, i really laid the law down to this guy. he said, kennedy is a boy in short pants. he could not get over the fact that kennedy was so young. nobody in the soviet hierarchy got to any position of responsibility until they were senile. here was an american president who was young and who obviously, in khrushchev's mind, didn't know what was going on. so, he decided he could continue to beat on kennedy. we, at the u.s. mission in berlin, i was in berlin by that time, heard about the summit from journalists who told us the truth. not what they were writing in the papers to be nice to kennedy. they said this is going to be bad. this is going to be really bad. the cia, if i may recall, said this is going to be really bad. khrushchev is very determined. we worried something would happen. we didn't k
