ticket first rolled out of the republican convention nobody thought reagan had a chance against jimmy carter the oil price shocks from the arab oil embargo were producing inflate. there was a mild recession but still americans largely thought reagan was a ray gun radical and he was way down in the polls and then the hostages were taken in iran to the carter administration it was a disaster so the reagan campaign it was an opportunity just like nixon preventing the vietnam war from ending in one thousand nine hundred sixty eight bill casey who was running the reagan campaign knew he had to prevent carter from freeing the hostages if carter pulled it off either militarily or through negotiations he easily win the election on the other hand if the iranians held the hostages to and through the election carter would look weak in impotent and reagan could win our reihana good work in the reagan state department wrote a book about that time titled october surprise she entered for gary sick both reported during the week of october fifteenth through the twentieth reagan campaign director bill casey w

cenk: president jimmy carter, thank you so much for joining us.e enjoyed it. >> i've enjoyed being with you. cenk: there's a lot i agree on, but the last answer is not one of them. i don't believe that a person as progressive as jimmy carter could possibly win a democratic primary these days, if he didn't have a billion dollars behind him, i think that there's no way in the world the democrats would back a guy who is that fundamentally decent and progressive. i'm keeping it real. by the way i love what they do at the carter center in terms of saying hey, we are going to try things that are really hard, even if it means we might be able to fail. that's how you build a legacy, not by being afraid, by being aggressive in fighting all the decent battles. there's a lot to respect about president jimmy carter and it was great to sit down with him. when we come back, i'll talk to michael hastings, a c.i.a. agent that went from some of the worst programs we've ever run to a crack addiction, to sex charges et cetera, as bad as it got in the dark days that

i am not surprised, i'm not shocked by the likes of oliver stone and michael moore and jimmy carter.hink that's more sickening to me, and we've been compiling all of the disgusting, and medic inducing tweets at my twitchy.com site, it's the liberal media, it's the people who wear their che guevara and berets in their cubby holes as they pretend to be objective. here is is a sample of them and they're just beyond parity. larry king, i interviewed hugo chavez a few years ago in new york and i remember he walked into the interview singing. they called him a firebrand. this is from a washington post reporter talking about how chavez once sang oh, solo mio and calling him a fighter and that's the associated press. >> sean: and let me jump in here and by the way, the first thing that i thought of was michael moore's cuban health care system didn't do a whole lot to save hugo chavez's life. >> yes. >> sean: maybe mike considering sloan kettering the next time he starts bragging about cuba's medical system. and sean penn, oliver stone, dumb hollywood actors, michael moore don't impress me. j

but the fact in 1979 -- talk about jimmy carter -- until 2007. the top 1% has scene its income grow by by 281%, and the middle% their income has green by 25%. so if they're paying more in taxes it's because they're making more, and i'm speaking of -- >> neil: so that a reflection of just fact. not -- okay. what too you make of this? >> when that report -- i find the report to be disengine reduce. the enfor instance it's the same 1% in 1979 are the same 1% now -- some have died. >> hogging the money. houston about the little kids who drew up poor and then sign a contract with the nfl for 180 million. now he is in the top 1%. guess what. his number is skewed. that type of stuff is twicesive and is tee destroying the country because it's mean spirited in nature. >> neil: i'm ticked about the rates as a total percentage. >> top 1% -- >> neil: they also to to the top 5, 10, 20%. >> look at the bush tax cuts. the top 1% from over a period of ten years got $641 billion whereas the bottom 80% hat 636 billion. so the health is accelerating up weared. that

s i mean we saw dennison edge jimmy carter these are not french people these are people who are you know congress people x. presidents who are saying that they think so what upsets me i think most of all is that it's almost a passe issue because of the drones that are be flying over in space this year golden age of the you know if it were like oh it isn't that i know the golden age is over now every u.f.o. sightings is going to be like it's a drone more than likely one of the language yes of course. but yeah i mean we saw it but that same poll thirty six percent of people believe in some sort of u.f.o. it's only exacerbated by the by you know movies x. files it all of that stuff so you know it is a lot out there the truth is out there out there. for share time cheers. more like what you see so far go to our facebook page at facebook dot com slash breaking the set be sure to do what thousands have already done and give us a like will be updating our status daily there with the links the past segment as well as reaching out to you for ideas of what you want to cover on the show and also ch

twenty five others saw something in the air that changed colors that was around a cave although jimmy carter says he doesn't think it was from another planet most of these people differ on that point he classified us government documents and witness testimony from former or retired u.s. military personnel confirm beyond any doubt the reality of ongoing u.f.o. incursions at nuclear weapons sites so to dive a little bit more into this issue i'm going to highlight just a few the most well known u.f.o. sightings that have made headlines in the u.s. the break in is the producer of men. oh the spanish going. home let's start with what we just saw it's a clip from a two thousand and ten news conference at the press club here in washington d.c. to discuss sightings of u.f.o.'s by military personnel in the sixty's seventy's and eighty's primarily. about how they've seen you have those over nuclear silos and missiles really interesting and some even claim that they shut them down that they even disarm some of the silos i mean this is a really interesting story and i think that for one i'm glad that yo

coming out of jimmy carter and following the same policies of out of control debt, taxes, regulation.resident reagan came in facing that stagnation. he implemented policies the exact opposite of barack obama. 1979 to 1983, economic growth was zero. -- 0.8%. obama did not learn the lesson from reagan that if he wants to have economic growth, you cut spending and you cut taxes. [applause] you don't send regulators like locus to destroy small businesses and jobs. do you know, if president obama had followed the reagan policy and we had seen the identical growth that president reagan saw in inheriting the same lousy economy that president obama did. do you know we would have seven million additional new jobs in america. let met help that i can make more concrete. seven million more jobs that is equivalent to giving a job to every man, women, and child in chicago, houston, philadelphia, and boston. that's what we're talking about. [applause] presidenttion under obama doesn't fall uniformly. if you so happen to be a tax lawyer or environmental lawyer, you're doing great right now. but i'll

fourth, know it has been ebbing up, and the fear, i remember this, as a kid, following the whole jimmy carter thing, before we knew it, it was a 29% prime, like a rocket. is there anything here that hints of that? and that when the fed makes a promise, you are right to 20 that is a lot of time for inflation that take hold. >> it looks like the factors are not aligned to rise immediately, one is labor costs, the unemployment dropped down to 7.7 percent, but fed comfort zone is about 6.5, or 7%, depending on which estimates you believe, it may take to 2015 if not longer for the unemployment rate to drop below 6.5, if you i did second the numbers we saw last friday, in terms of labor participation, and unemployment rate dropping down to 7.7, it was part time employment, not full im. neil: we're a long way from the 6 half. i understand, but what worries me, is when smart guys like you, so many, are not worried about inflation, that is the majority of you, maybe the i don't know the crepe hanger in me, says i'm worried, the crowd is betting on one thing, they say that the fed is going to keep doin

low, but not as low as 2% yield it was fetching a little more than a year ago, let's be lear, jimmy carter double digit rates these are not. but once the jeannie was out of the bottle, kaboom. is history teaching us on american sequel? march sequel. are you worried about inflation? >> i am worried to a degree about inflation. neil: what is your big concern? that fed takes principle away. >> according to last minute of of fed meeting of january 29 and 30, their expecting will be tame through 2015, and will do everything possible to keep the itheeconomic growth in a path tt it is, and keep buying assets to spur the economy, a lot of investors are concerned that inflation will kick in but the biggest concern is the if investor performance that fed wilbelieve that fed willstop pu. treasures -- neil: rates are going to go back up. >> that is the fear. neil: we go for more than 2% to 3.95%, back and fourth,y know it has been ebbing up, and the fear, i remember this, as a kid, following the whole jimmy carter thing, before we knew it, it was a 29% prime, like a rocket. is there anything here that

cabinet. -- mirror of jimmy carter's cabinet. for universal programs which proliferated during the 1970's. the was a program sponsored by the american medical association after its own likes. there have been won a few years ago. the question now was not whether we would get universal health reform but whether we would get a particular kind of it such as kennedy was advocating. then the bottom fell out. a major economic crisis in the 1970's. the oil embargo and now the worry was extending coverage to everyone that can -- extending coverage to everyone. how could we imagine a incurring more costs at that moment? carter began as a lukewarm supporter of health insurance and by the end of his administration, kennedy was challenging him for the nomination. this is a parody of an ad on tv. what could be more horrific than to have teddy kennedy looking back, his bathroom mirror. the reagan era. there you can see why national reform did not do very well done and the 1980's. that was reagan's mantra. he tried to cut the safety net. he cut

and for jimmy carter, it was close to half a million. chump change especially when you factor in how much these former presidents make from book sales, speak iin engagements and appearances. bill clinton and bush 43 pocketed speaking fees in the $10 million to $15 million range just last year alone. with all the talk in congress these days about wasteful spending, you'd think lawmakers would be falling all over each other trying to rein in presidential perks. but last year when republican congressman introduce add bill to limit costs to a $200,000 pension and another $200,000 in pocket change, the bill didn't even make it out of committee. just when we thought congress couldn't see eye to eye on anything, it seems lawmakers are pretty content to let the men who have done time in the oval office run up the bill. but not everyone is looking for a paycheck. the only presidential widow, nancy reagan, turned down her $20,000 pension last year. now, of course, the biggest expense of all is secret service. we don't know how much it is, but it's

and egypt signed the camp david accords after two weeks of intense negotiations led by president jimmy carter. the palestinians never give up their desire for self- determination. their frustration spilled out in the late 1980's with a desperate uprising against israeli occupation. that conflict ended in 1993 with the signing of the oslo accords. >> all the peoples of the middle east deserve the blessings of peace. >> for the first time, there was mutual recognition between israel and the palestinians. u.s. president bill clinton looked on as yasser arafat and israeli leaders shook hands. nevertheless, prospects for peace were shaken when palestinian extremists intensified their campaign of terror. for its part, israel broke with accords by refusing to dismantle settlements in the west bank and gaza strip. washington changed its middle east chad agee following the attacks of september 11. americans were more focused on the war on terror. peace with the palestinians took a back seat. but in 2002, president george de b. bush outlined a two-state solution when he presented what was called the ro

[exciting jazz music] ♪ >> so, nbc is making me go on the vontella show to promote tgs. >> oh, that show is the worst. >> i know. i swore i'd never go on again after that one time. we get paid to make each other laugh. >> jenna, meet your half-sister courtney! [cheers and applause] >> gimme my money, you bitch! >> never! >> they want me to go on as a relationship expert because of the "dealbreakers" sketch. and since you're the face of "dealbreakers," you're going with me. >> what? no, come on. >> i thought you wanted the attention. >> yeah,

feeling that republicans want to take us back, i look at the democratic national convention, it is jimmy carter, teddy kennedy. who is trying to bring you back here? as for the groups republicans don't do well with, i think -- well, we're doing well, with white women, with married women, single married. mitt romney did better with receiver single demographic than john mccain. more of them voted for mitt romney than voted for mccain. the only two groups that voted more for mccain than romney were asians and hispanics, the two largest immigrant groups this country has been taken in for the last 30 years. teddy kennedy specifically designed his immigration act of 1965 to change america temperature graphically without checking with the american people. it is impossible to immigrate here from europe. 80% of our immigrates come from the third world, 60% of them go on welfare, the higher percentage of native-born americans. we have a more dependent society. we have people who want welfare and we cannot get the votes of the dependent society without changing our policies. they are awful people, those d
