getting rid of the bad guy you always want to make sure you avoid the worst guy you know poor jimmy carter helped to get rid of the shah and the shah had a secret police but look we got khomeini so from the frying pan into the fire america has had a nightmare in iran for thirty years because of the khomeini revenue over using going to iraq was correct i think in retrospect that was a mistake and i certainly think you can't say i was going in for weapons of mass destruction there aren't any to me that's unconsciously a little obama so much and not level bush well they did this i think i think the iraq invasion was a mistake now afghanistan is a different deal and i think with obama he does he came in and he seemed to understand the distinction in fact he campaigned he said iraq is a bad war gana standards and more troops go to the water but look the taliban those are not good guys they're not good guys not only in their foreign policy but they they are the most radical muslims in the world and radical islam is probably the most illiberal force in the world today so i don't understand why we

and others, were there when after 1964 defeat of goldwater, after nixon's resignation in 1974, jimmy carter's election in 1976, when it was the darkness of biblical proportions, it was tough. as tough as it is now, we have things going for us. we didn't have jim demint been. we didn't have rand paul and mike lee and ted cruz and marco rubio and all of these wonderful governors. mike pence and scott walker. we didn't have all of them. we didn't have talk we are. we didn't have cable television. we didn't have the internet. we have so much going for us now that we didn't have but we persevered and conservatives, we are close to prevailing. so i think in 2016, conservatives, if you remember, it's the primaries, stupid. if we do that we can score big victories in 2014, 2016. we can nominate and elect a principled limit government, constitutional conservative to be the republican nominee, and elect that person in november and the governing america by 2017. so in order to chart the future, we've got to understand the past as i said earlier. so this is a cliff notes version of my book, drinking. rea

my book was reviewed by ray marshall, who was jimmy carter's secretary of labor. their focus is on bringing scholarship to light that would perhaps not find a publisher or an audience in an ordinary -- in ordinary presses. the republican-democratic divide, the one republican administration after world war ii, the eisenhower administration, they had a different infosys in civil rights -- emphasis on civil rights. they were more pro-civil rights than woodrow wilson. they had a little different twist. there is an amusing thing. president truman had a committee on government contract compliance. eisenhower's people said, ok, i guess we should have one. we will just call it the president's committee on government contracts. they left off compliance. that sounded what the heavy-handed government on business. it was a little friendlier. you were mentioning richard nixon, this is a group that eisenhower asked vice president nixon to get involved in any really jumped in with both feet. there is a parallel with him and lyndon johnson with the kennedys. this eisenhower commi

. >> well, harry, i'm going to jump in there because i think a simple way i can say that jimmy carter, president carter, experienced yesterday -- experience yesterday was almost everything that you need to know about progress, about heart, about honesty, and about the future. he is on top of it in every way. so i would say to all of america, if you can get a tape of the jimmy carter presentation, of yesterday, at that -- [ applause ] -- unbelievable. >> there's a movement going on now about unionizing college athletes. i would be very interested in both of your opinions in this unionization effort. it's just starting, and i think people are really looking around about an opinion, a disposition, a perspective on it that they can kind of understand and wrap their minds around. jim, bill? >>> bill, you want to take it? >> well, for me, if i have -- i have this phrase that i use, all great fortunes are [indiscernible] either cheap or slave labor. and so the ncaa is one group everybody is focusing on. they have this money machine. and to keep it this way, the labor force has to be free. or

we worked with president jimmy carter twice.t recent one was we can have peace in the whole land. he is an extraordinary man, i am so impressed with his sense of mission and social responsibility. he didn't give a talk. he just came and autographed books. there was a big line of folks who got their books signed and he managed to sign a thousand books and our legibly and actually look out and speak to people at the same time. an independent bookstore has never been easy. in west bank when it started with donated books, it is completely undercapitalize from the get go. there were different ownerships. i have been with the store for 40 years and my partner who is my husband had been hit ten. all the time we have been in business it has been a struggle. for us, not having the big capital to begin with requires that we are clever about what we do. always talking about how we have it zero budget, zero budget this and that because that is what we have to do. however it is a larger context of bookstores. if we are not hostile environmen

iraq, i don't know if iraq can be fixed by a change in policy, but at least jimmy carter changed course. after afghanistan he increased the military defense budget, he changed at very end. reagan defense increase started under jimmy carter where there's no sign that barack obama sees the disastrous policies and he's changing course in any way. >> joe, do you believe that all we're seeing here is a result of president obama's policies or is it the result of something else, and, you know, when it's one scandal, two scannedals, even three scandals, well, maybe these are joined up, right, by the president's opponents, but there are so many and certainly the gdp shrink is not something joined up by anybody's opponents. >> no, but it's very similar to the end of the bush presidency. i'm not trying to come back at marc. look, iraq, the economy, all of it was unraveling in the last few years of the bush presidency. his favorables and approval ratings were in the tank, i think just about where obama's are right now. it's not out of the -- you know, this isn't a unique situation. i would have bee
