grout ten and say -- >> one thing jack brought ten did for me which, which i respected and love jack grouten like another father but he taught me how to take care of myself and teach myself. >> jack grout went to many golf tournaments and not one time did jack ever step on the practice tee at a tournament. jack, back in the bleachers or in the stands or standing by the ropes, and, you know, i mean, i went to jack maybe, when i was playing, in the middle of my career maybe two or three times a year, we would spend an hour, and talk about things other than golf but always finished up to say, jack, i think you need to take your left hand and do a little bit this, and your head is a little out of position, you need to work on this. but that was all he would say, you know, because he knew that he had taught me how to play golf, and he wanted me to correct myself, so when i not in the heat of battle i could do so. and that was the greatest asset he gave me. >> rose: and you did that the middle of a tough match? >> absolutely. >> rose: if you knew what was wrong? >> i figured it out and i w

so from the time jack ran in 1946, for the u.s. house of representatives, they would begin to bring rose out and she could tell the story about how he had been wounded in the war and was a war hero, how she had lost a soon in the war, that she was a gold star mother, and jack would tell people that, too, especially women's audiences. so rose could really reach out to women. remember that jack was not married until much later in life. started his campaigns in 1946, didn't marry until 1953. so there was no spouse for him to bring out. so there was rose. also have to keep in mind that her husband, joe, sr., had become politically toxic when he said some undiplomatic things about the united states and britain possibly losing the war to the nazis. >> host: do you think joe had political amibitions? >> guest: i do. there are stories he wanted to be the first irish catholic president of the united states. >> host: makes sense. >> guest: he was moving in that direction with all of his contacts in the new deal administration, and certainly

jack can answer for himself.t makes us a little different, the work that we do from the.com, we come community, we have established relationships, people trust us. we also have cultural understanding and background to translate to the rest of the world. these are people that trust us. normally, a journalist will spend years to get a source at jsoc or the agency, whereas we can pick up the phone and call have a dozen people at either place and say, what is going on? in this case, people were reaching out to us. >> president obama is finishing up his african tour. we are not hearing about military operations, of course. we know that there are jsoc operations happening in many of these areas. could you talk about that? operationsrrorism have been in north africa for a while now. we are seeing operations across northern africa. they have been happening for over five years now. some of these have been under the auspices of other countries, like france, other allies, and they will continue into the foreseeable future.

rest is history i've interviewed jack and my. sense and i'm very reluctant to say this but he's so glib and i so got the sense that he was saying whatever people wanted to hear that it was it was setting off my sociopath alarm and that's very strong thing to say and i'm not saying that i know that jackie ralph is a sociopath but i know that so surpassed behave the way in many regards jackie will often has been characterized as behaving. and typically people like that so leave a lot of wreckage of their lives a lot of hurt people want to damage lives what was your involvement with jackie of them off and how did that affect your why radically i got involved with jack cable because i was not on the good side of tom delay and i think what has house who was close to jack off and jack was a you know power broker everybody wanted to be around jackie and i wanted to rise you know rise in the ranks to go for speaker of the house. and knew who he was but i got involved with jack because he was the money guy he could raise money and also he

the democrats and the president and jack lew as treasury secretary are saying, this sounds familiar,aise taxes on the wealthy. spend more money on investments and things like infrastructure, education, clean energy, manufacturing, to boost the middle class. republicans say we've heard this all before. we've spent $800 billion in the stimulus. it hasn't worked. real median household income has actually fallen during the recovery since the recession enlded in 2009. they say get government out of the way. lower taxes. less regulation. let business be the generator of growth. so it's an old argument, but we're going to see it renewed with new fury in the next month or so. once again we're bumping up against one of those deadlines for the government to run out of money. >> man, oh, man, if we did this in our house, you know, credit card company would be after us. what do we do? you've got the debt ceiling. they keep on expanding that. we have these fiscal cliffs. we're running up to 2014 where this certainly will be an argument then. >> it absolutely will be an argument. i will say that r

jack, let me begin with you.t want to hear how justin is doing. >> he's doing actually really well considering the situation. he's just -- he was very surprised. he wasn't expecting it. we got to surprise him this morning. and we got a good meal in him and he's in a nice, safe place with a good bed and he's just really happy to be out and be with his parents and be able to enjoy sunshine and a nice bed. >> so i have to ask both you and don, you as well, i -- it seems crazy to me that you can face ten years for writing something on facebook. at the same time when i go back to covering sandy hook, when i think about the weeks and months after that and when i think about if someone had perpetrated a horrible crime such as that and there had been a facebook posting beforehand, i think everyone would be pointing to it screaming why didn't you do something? weren't the authorities right to step in here? >> chris, absolutely. law enforcement needs to be vigilant. particularly in these times and particularly when we hear

yesterday jack jack lew who the president asked to investigate the i.r.s.ndal, he said the i.r.s. scandal, it's not a scandal. it's a phony scandal. ginned up by the republicans. here's jack. >> i think we have to look at the facts. there have been a lot of investigations, hearings, the justice department. there is no evidence of any political decision-maker who was involved in any of those decisions. i think the attempt to try to keep finding that evidence is creating the kind of sense of a phony scandal. >>anna: until yesterday we were trying to figure out which one of these scandals is the phony scandal or are they all of them. we heard from family members from victims of benghazi, fast and furious, seal team six. you're thinking all these families are having a hard time with this and now we're hearing it is just the i.r.s. if it is the i.r.s. one, how does the secretary of treasury know -- how does jack lew know this if the investigation has not been complete? he was on chris wallace's show fox news sunday and chris had to ask him three separate ways an

and we had to overdub ourselves watching black jack. >> she has 15. what does she need to draw next? it is a six. >> that was it for six months. >> you are a very good actor. >> thank you. was fascinating. >> any more questions? stat all right, well i want to thank you very happy to sign anything you want me to sign. i appreciate you coming out today. >> thank you come ben speed. >> for more information, visit the author's website, benmezrich.com. >>> several years ago, my father told me about a german ship that sank at the end of world war ii. he didn't know much about other than its name, and that it was an incredibly devastating. and so, i decided to look that up. and what i discovered that it was in fact the worst maritime disaster in a peace or war. more than 9,000 people died on january 30th, 1945 when the soviet submarine, the s 13 attacked the wilhelm gustloff, which was a former cruise liner turned ship. so to put that into context, that is about six times more than those who died when the titanic sank after hitting an iceberg. during the ini

extreme difficulties and i have been just tremendously impressed by the way that the staff led by jack and mable but all of the people that i have dealt with on the staff have soldiered on to do right and to carry out their sworn responsibilities as representatives of the city and county of san francisco against some very, formittable criticism, and to up hold the expectations about open and responsible government. and i know that it has been hard. although, it will appear on the record that i am departing before the end of my term. i have heard that 6 months and three months. and who is counting. and holding on by one fingernail to do that some days. but it is an honor, san francisco asks a lot of our public officials. and we ask a lot of ourselves as a city and these are incredible standards that we arto carry out, to be ethical and open and at thsame time, careful and accurate and respect privacy, tonight's conversation could not capture it, better. and as we are trying to balance all of those things, knowing what the voters have put in place and what they have asked and what indivi

i'm glad that you are all now on team jack, and i know with you we can't lose.s. >> love that. >> thanks so much, betty. >>> turning back now to top political stories, joining me for our "first look" at politics, is syndicated columnist bob franken. let's start with lynn cheney throwing her hat in the ring for u.s. senate. lot of people don't have warm and fuzzy feelings about the bush/cheney years in the white house. do you think her last name helps or hurt her here? >> she probably wouldn't be running if she wasn't the daughter of. in addition to that, she really reflects the problem that the republicans might have this year, where everybody is trying to outextreme the other. mike enzi, a senator, the one who's incumbent and feels betrayed that cheney is running, is considered very conservative by standards. it will be interesting to see if that works there and other places where there's going to be primaries in the gop. >>> switching gears to the voter rights act. do you think that the partisan divides in congress are too deep to reach agreement on this issue

i did hear, jack, that you were thinking about running for mayor?> that could be interesting if you think about it, 148 campaign speeches, 6 second campaign videos and your big pledge that everyone can pay their taxes using square. [ applause ] [ laughter ] >> i think i speak for the mayor, both of us are happy we don't have to run again. truthfully we are thrilled that twitter and square are growing in new york city as well as in san francisco and city hall and bloomberg philanthropy when the east coast host the summit. like san francisco, new york has already had success in building the city. it's also embraced the culture of this sector and it's an example of the city and tech sector to create jobs and for the economic future and what people forget about is the high tech jobs create a lot of low tech jobs and we are all in this together in the support services and any type of economic activity spreads through the entire economy. it is a great example of everybody working together. city economic development is the engine of our nation and we need

as far as jack lew is concerned, jack did spend some time at citi corp.efore that he was close to tip o'neill, he worked very hard in the clinton administration. i haven't seen any evidence that jack lew was anything other than a major player. one of the people who have some significant wall street experience after his government service was a man named paul volcker. the volcker rule which we were glad to help enact into law and i believe will be enacted in very tough form, will be a great protection. so yeah, you got to be careful about this, but as of now i see no evidence that the people who had worked in the financial industry are being weak. i did notice recently "the new york times" front page of the business section saying, boy, mary jo white's getting tough. that's a good thing. >> by the way, alex, just to add to that, you take people like neal womin, they provided great leadership and source of information and support as we worked through all of this. there are very good people there. tim geithner i think did a good job in many, many ways. i kno

jack lew's got it wrong and ben bernanke's got it wrong. got to do just the reverse.bring money back into being scarce and bring tax rates down and broaden the base dramatically and you've got to literally get government spending out of way of private spending in this economy and then you'll get the prosperity and only then, but i think the market is starting to see that happening, larry. maybe not this year or next year because the economy really is bad today, but i think the -- they are seeing a lot better future. >> do you think financial bubbles are pro-growth because i don't? >> i don't think there have been bubbles. i think these have been regulatory bubbles frankly and i agree with michelle in the earlier segment. michelle had it dead on. >> a housing bubble? >> i don't think there's a housing bubble. >> jarred, there was a tulip bubble. there was a -- there have always been bubbles. there will always be bubbles. >> certainly the housing bubble and crash which has us in the situation we're in today is very much associated with the level of deregulation associat

i may be the only living person -- jack was a dear friend and a mentor, the late jack kemp. this was a perfect example. either neighborhood by neighborhood or the entire city. make it tax-free for cap gains, for investment. did you know, the property tax for businesses, machinery and the land they're on, is the highest in detroit, anywhere in the united states. this would be a great time for tax incentives so detroit can grow and all the beauty that mark simone is talking about can flower. >> absolutely. i think when you're talking about what's happening in detroit, it had one of the highest tax rates in the country and the other cities you see about to fall are not just chicago. philadelphia, cleveland, cincinnati, also some of the -- >> don't forget buffalo. >> buffalo, new york. highest tax rates in the country. so we see the experiment of progressivism, liberalism, of what the democratic policies have put forth. that is detroit. then we can look over to wisconsin and see what free market capitalism has done. >> this is the great victory and the great example of governor

(laughing) >> smith: for the past four decades, jack bogle has been preaching the gospel of long-termow-cost investing through index funds. >> get wall street out of the equation. get trading out of the equation. get management fees out of the equation. you own american business and you hold it forever: that's what indexing is. own a fund that owns the entire u.s. stock market, does no trading, and has a cost of one percent a year to own. and that is the only way to do it. then you are the creature of the market and not of the casino. >> smith: index funds buy and hold a broadly diversified basket of stocks that match the holdings of a market index: the s&p 500, the wilshire 5000, or maybe a bond or commodity index. they don't eliminate market risk, they ride the market up and down, but they are much cheaper because there is no active manager. >> you can guarantee to the shareholder that they will capture their fair share of the stock market's return, for better or for worse. if you want to gamble with your retirement money, all i can say is be my guest. but be aware of the mathematic
