. >> so jake was in barcelona, and i was in barcelona, i talked to jake and heather. >> was heather there? >> heather allen. >> oh, heather taylor. not heather allen. that would have been fun. >> the c4 is up and running. >> i know. i'm so proud of her. >> you should be. she's doing a great job. bob epstein is the chair of it. >> she and bob are just -- lock armed. >> they are. we're motoring along. it's good. >> you're like fully staffed up now. >> finally. yeah. we are. actually, we have a new director. >> is he here? >> i don't know. we have to ask somebody. >> let me know if you need me, i'm happy to sit down with anybody and i offered it to scott because he was calling me asking me, what should i do and i said you should take the job. >> do you know him? >> no. >> we need to meet him. we need to ask somebody. hello, tim, where are you now? >> clean economy network. >> where is that? >> amy christianson? >> to. no. we start add new non-profit about 10 weeks to go. 2 to 10 in three months. >> one of the best interns. >> sam blodgett. he's on full time with us now. >> what's the agenda?

>> well, i can only take at what they said, jake. what the president is going to do is continue to ensure that we're making progress. i think the president would say, if you look at what is happening with -- again, i don't want to speak broadly for every banker, but i think if you look at -- i think the president would say that when an institution decides to forego a cash bonus in lieu of increased long-term equity in the company that does invest for a four-year period of time, that that was precisely the type of solution that he was talking about earlier this year -- that if we take the short-term cash out of this system that can be much more closely rigged toward risk and instead say your compensation should be termed -- should be attached to the long-term health and growth of your company, which is good for you and taxpayers, that represents the type of progress that the president would like to see. again, i think the bankers all acknowledged that they have work to do on this issue. the president reiterated that, and discussed aga

but first jake. >> caller: good morning. i'm just calling, you know, i had a question. but i need to preface it. i just want to say as a followers of christ, i don't hold out much hope for the army of the world to bring peace in our time. i see what's going on, it has to be a perpetual war. for the sake of my children, bring our troops home. >> well, i understand where you are coming from. i've been involved in this for many, many years. i share your concern. hopefully, we can build the peaceful place. but when in a region of training of different type of war, terrorists can inflict serious harm on american citizens, and on our territory. then i think we need to have a strategy to be able to stand up to that. and part of the problem is when these terrorists get in, and i've fought terrorists in latin america, in africa, in europe, and elsewhere. once they get momentum, it gets much more difficult. and these go all the way back further, but go back to the 1983 bombing of our troops in lebanon. so there has to be a way. and i think what has to happen, we have to adapt to

. ♪ >> larry: jake rice, the the new security reviews the president implemented, are they going to work> the fact is there's accessibility out there. when the capability is in place in some areas, if we had taken the intelligence available in this case, sometime people say if we profiled this guy, i mean, in the negative sense, i don't think that's necessary based on the information available, not the fact he was on a watch list, but he was paying cash and flying one way and his father said we have issues here. just for those reasons alone. i've been stopped in multiple airports because of places i came from. the fact it's happened to me and many other people, it's somewhat shocking this wasn't done in lagos or amsterdam or anyplace else. that's with everything we have in place right now. >> larry: harvey, do you agree with tom ridge that we get a little lax. >> i certainly agree with him. more importantly what this former secretary said, which i think is key, he talked about culture. i could tell you this, larry. there are different cultures within the different agencies that need to c

jake will last another one for you. if you think about it. if in fact you have a 20% or 30% lower figure of man's impacts over and above nature's impact you could be talking about 150 or 500 years before we reach a terrible point verses a matter of a couple years. the difference in the solution as i like to say, $1 trillion is too important to waste. washington. we are talking trillion of dollars will impact the economy in jobs and in many of cap and tax if we do it today. if on the other hand we take those dollars and allocate them towards clean, long-term renewable fuels, for research that we have some time for, toward transitions that make sense without losing a single american jobs or endangering our position or economic position in the world, that same trillion dollars could lead us in a matter of a couple decades into an incredibly energy self-sufficient world. on the other hand, give it to brazil to grow offsets. if you give it to the various strategies that go with cap and tax, we have very little except very little. that is what this

>> again, as jake mentioned in the authorization to go into afghanistan was as a result quite clearly of the activities of al qaeda in a taliban-provided safe haven in afghanistan. that's why we're -- that's why we're in afghanistan right now. >> i know. you said you are going to make an [inaudible] >> well, go ahead. i'm sorry.

talking about tomorrow, but one of the things that the report that trait made mention of is that -- that jakemade mention of it that you -- if you compare the amount of money consider necessary then and what is necessary now, it will be 144 billion. the white house is looking at whether or not using that for legislation to create an environment for increased hiring for jobs, whether that would be available. >> it was not appropriate for jobs programs. it was appropriated for things like weatherization and the kind of thing that you had in the first in euless. money to states to keep them from laying off workers, tax breaks for small business, weatherization infrastructure, it sounds like the same kind of stuff that was in the stimulus. is it that silly to say that this is not a second stimulus? how can you use money from tarp to pay for a second stimulus? it's like a slush fund, as republicans say. >> i think republicans are simply dead wrong. you can look it in the number of figures to denote the wild they have continued to criticize the recovery act, we of st. the first positive job growth
