satan. >> john p.satan instead of john p. sears. conservatives -- everybody had their own reason to be mad at john. is that in 1976, the conservatives including especially my old friend thought that he was trying to moderate reagan's positions. and then in 1980 what he's doing is he's picking off one reagan ally off another. marty is first forced out and lynn is forced out. and it really came to almost blows -- this is another thing in the book, too. is now on the eve of the new hampshire primary, now john is trying to get ed meese out of the reagan campaign. and they have this meeting. mrs. reagan, reagan, john sears, and john's two principal aides and they had this meeting in new hampshire that goes until 2:30 in the morning and nothing is resolved and they are trying -- john is trying to get ed out of the campaign. and reagan finally explodes. and he stands up and he says you're not going to get ed, by god. and he's moving towards sears. and charlie and mrs. reagan have to get in between the two bec

john wall, steal and a dunk. but anthony campbell a and austin peay got one of their own as they're hanging in here at rupp aren >> matt: wednesday with a nine-point lead on austin peay. the first game since last saturday when they beat indiana 90-73 in bloomington. patrick patterson said it felt good to have coach cal congratulate us on the 10-0 start when he referred to the 9-0 start as being 4-5 because of poor execution. that's calipari's mantra, okay, we're 10-0, but 5-5 in my book. >> kyle: ongoing joke with the media. >> matt: patterson is no joke. look at the numbers. 16.8 points per game. number six in the conference. big man nate up in the free-throw line in demarcus cousins. >> kyle: one thing that helped patrick patterson with the freshman, demarcus cousins in particular in the low post. not receiving the double and sometimes terrible t terrible t he called the past two seasons. >> matt: 11.2 for the wildcats. and bounces to roberson. ran into a double-team. and cousins gets the rebound. bledsoe. 23 h

some say because john got him close and others say because john s. tuck and new york and ohio and new jersey and other primaries. but there wasn't a good acceptable back up, which is why it took so long to fire john in 1980 because there wasn't anybody of his stature and the other thing weighing on reagan and actually mrs. reagan as well was the fact that john had all of his friends in the national media and freakin''s campaign in all 79 early 80 is in very bad condition. it's losing money, running a huge deficit, about stories are coming out into the press, the staff fighting, then you've got of course the age issue is still there and he doesn't need another spat, bad political story. bye firing his campaign manager because if he fires john that means john's top aides, charlie black and jim lake are going to go with him so they arrive at the strategy the day of the new hampshire primary believing they will win the primary and minimize the story and then because they found an acceptable alternative. it's very long answer to a good question. >> when y

reagan, reagan, john sears and john's two principal aids. they had this meeting in new hampshire that goes into 2:30 in the morning and nothing is resolved. and they're trying to take -- john is -- john is trying to get ed out of the campaign. and reagan finally explodes. and he stands up and he says, you're not going to get ed, by god, and he's moving towards sears and charlie and mrs. reagan have to get him between the two because it looked like reagan was going to punch sears. he was so mad at him for trying to take out his old friend, ed meese. and so they ended up in the middle and charlie is getting john out of the room as fast as possible. reagan is still yelling at him. so john finally had just made one enemy too many and he had to go. >> okay. a couple last questions. the first is, obviously, towards the tail end of the '80 campaign, many people were on the edge of their seat because of the potential for the negotiations by president carter to obtain the release of the hostages being held in iran. i know this is somewhat speculative

john fraley, 11 points. a long time after getting ten points in the first seven or eight minutes of the ballgame. duran roberson gave them nine off the bench. and austin peay three of nine. >> kyle: they have to improve in the second half to have a chance of winning the ballgame. 3 of 15 is abysmal. but they are a second half team. they're used to being behind at halftime. now the competition level may be different than some of the teams they've played. see if they respond. >> matt: the odds are against them. two and 40 all-time of the current sec teams. the only other victory against sec program was vanderbilt. kentucky was 32-0 all time against odc. >> kyle: proud to say i added a couple of losses when i was at moorhead state. not proud but it happened. >> matt: austin peay in road red and wildcats in home white. >> kyle: and marcel willaims starting center. >> matt: took an early seat after two quick fouls in the ballgame. >> kyle: they need him down low. he brings good strength. gained 20 pounds. >> matt

john mccain is right on that. however, ill tell you that it's business as usual which is the point that john mcskein trying to make. things haven't changed much. >> let me bring you back in here as well. pharma, various organizations simply were not on board. what i'm hearing, senator john mccain and dana right now, there was a lot of quid pro quo is that fair? >> absolutely. what we're seeing is the fury that exists on the republican side, about the way that this whole thing has been undertaken. dana has a good point there were republicans at the table like olympia snow. they did breakdown but there is a sense, more broadly, and you will all the way through with tax reform, in '96, what we saw then was buy bart san ship, people were brought to the table and there were votes from both side. we had super majority that passed things. and in instead of having the partisan divide, we had legislation that went through with the sense and the country representing the will of the entire country. and they run straight genk

[laughter] in that same year, 1780, john adams had an idea. still in paris he says to abigail, maybe having had some of our shipments seized what i should do is instead of putting them in these big chests and shipping them across the atlantic, i'll dispurse them and ask everybody who goes from france to matts to take a little -- matts to take a little thing for you. that way we're spreading the risk. and he sent the first presents, he called it, with the marquee delafayette. you may know he went home every winter. the army's not fighting, no reason to stick around here. so he went home. when he came back in the spring of 1780, he brought some stuff for abigail to sell. and once again abigail wrote her husband saying, your will is law to me. if that's the way you want to do it, that's what we'll do. but if you want to disburse your shipments like that, you're going to have to buy the items to send me retail, and you've got to buy wholesale, she said. [laughter] and she convinced him. and the remaining shipments came wholesale, and in fact prett

then john quincy adams, who was the son of john adams, john quincy adams was the sixth president. some think he may have been the smartest president, there's no way to know. but he was a brilliant man, the youngest diplomat ever appointed to the america when he was 11 years of age. he knew all the founders, he was -- his father, john adams, allowed him to accompany him to so many events and things he knew the founders, he knew the founding and john quincy adams in 1821, on july 4 said, the highest glory of the american rev luge was this, it connected -- revolution was this, it connected in one bond the principles of the civil government with the principles of christianity. from the day of the declaration, they, the american people, were bound by the laws of god which they all and by the laws of the gospel which they nearly all acknowledged as the rules of their conduct. noah webster, 1833, said, quote, the moral principles and precepts contained in the scriptures ought to form the basis of all our civil constitutions and laws. all the miseries and evils which men suffer from vice,

>> well, mcduffie was a protege of john c. calhoun, and john c. calhoun was a democrat but he was a southern democrat. and, well, he had very early during the jackson presidency flirted with the idea that states could secede from the union. jackson threatened to send troops down there. but the issue then was called nullification, which meant that states could nullify federal laws that they didn't like. jackson said, "no, that's tantamount to succession, essentially." and jackson said, "i'm sending troops down. i'll hang any traitors who try to rend this hallowed union." and he quashed the nullification movement. but those southerners, especially from south carolina, were very wary of the federal government, and mcduffie never really came to heel with regard to either jackson or polk. >> so what's the difference between the democratic party today and the democratic party you're writing about? >> well, the democratic party today in polk's day, the democratic party of polk's day was much closer really to the republican party of today. i happen to bel

john lewis was hit in the head with a coca-cola crete, reporters also attacked in john seigenthaler, who led the time was working for bobby kennedy in the department of justice was hit in the head with a pipe and knocked out. at this point, there were calls from pretty much every corner of the establishment from the freedom rides to come to halt from the media including vendor times who said the riders would be overreaching of the continued their campaign to mississippi. in the mainstream civil rights organizations like the entel lil' -- naacp and urban league had never been happy about this ticket to the streets non-violent direct action approach these kids like rip were increasing. it made them nervous. they must refer to work in the courts. so they were not keen on the rides either and of course the kennedy administration was desperate to get pictures of the burning buses and bloody teaching riders of the front pages of newspapers, not only in this country but around the world. the images, anniston or everywhere. kennedy was new in office. he was about to go to vienna to have his

the john r. wooden classic. coming up next, it's ucla versus mississippi state. the second time these two teams have met and the last time it was on ucla's route to their unprecedented 11th national championship. >> mississippi state is an offensive powerhouse, the bulldogs starting five are all in double figures, a great tribute to honor the legend in the tradition of winning. the pac-10 ucla bruins and the s.e.c. mississippi state bulldogs, the john r. wooden classic starts now. >> welcome to the honda center at anaheim, california, for pac-10 hoops presented by kfc featuring the 16th annual john r. wooden classic driven by toyota tires. today, the mississippi state bulldogs take on the ucla bruins. today college basketball fans will see the top shot blocker in the game in mississippi state's jarvis bernardo and a terrific outside shooter in ucla's michael roll right there. hi, everybody, i'm steve kusaik and this is former college basketball player of the year marcus johnson. we just saw georg

-- i agree with john 100%. think that you would need to reconcile to put the package in. you have prospects for at least eight years of a president that would defend it. and substantial majorities behind it. and if you get eight good years on this issue, that's a lot. and part of it you could abolish reconciliation but i think you're going to probably need it to get it in. so that was the only point i was going to make. >> bill? >> first of all, i think john has got a very interesting proposal here. as i would expect from john always, thoughtful. i don't want to -- i want to go back on a couple of premises, number one, freeze everything where it is. freeze indexation, freeze colas, freeze medicare reimbursement rates, freeze everything. as you know when we went through gramm-rudman-hollings the first come off the table was medicare, and the limitation on medicare and the next thing to come off was any programs associated with, quote, the safety net. food stamp, child nutrition, wic, it went down the line. one c

but it is john marshall. he really does deserve primacy. he is the babe ruth of supreme court judging, a great batter and a great pitcher as well and he did dominate his court only one constitutional the cent in 34 years. my boss, william o. douglas, roddick constitutional dissent about every 44 minutes near the end of his career but they were short and often not very well thought out. and, of the title of my buck really does express its thesis, that the supreme court is highly influenced by the opinions of american elites, and there is no more elite group of americans than politicians for this purpose. the famous sadrist, peter finley dunn you the turn of the 20 a century had a great column with this fictitious the irish-american bartender, mr. duly and mr. dooley always speaks with his irish brogue which unfortunately i cannot imitate but his most famous of his statements referred to cases growing out of the spanish-american war, and the issue was, did the american constitution apply in the territories that we acquired from spain? and in

>> larry: john, was he in between to you, too?i actually think general kimmitt, i think his analysis is very spot on in a sense that the president is in a position where he's trying to appease everybody. he may end up with no support. in a sense, i felt like the time line was possibly something for the left to say, hey, the president is in a situation where he's trying to look out for his political base and at the same time, appease general mcchrystal and petraeus who waged a rather political campaign in the press at least, to support this increase. i think that he's in a precarious position. which one is he committed to? i think we'll find out in the days ahead. but he certainly didn't committee to strategy over the other. >> larry: general clark, do you question his commitment? >> i don't question his commitment. he said he wants to go after al qaeda. i believe he will. i believe he'll go after them forcefully wherever they are. i think the key to al qaeda right now is pakistan and you can't get at pakistan without being in afgh

i think as i would from john always, thoughtful.n't want to go back on a couple of premises. number one, freeze everythingñr where it is. freeze indexation? freeze colas, freeze tax expenditures, freeze everything. as you know when we went through graham redman hollings, the first thing to come off the table was social security and the next thing was limitation on medicare and the next thing was any programs associated with "the safety net." food stamp, child nutrition, down the line. one could argue, it seems to me, that freezing in where we are today is the wrong thing to freeze. in other words, you've taken where we are today u and some people say that's not where we should be. >> can i respond to that one? >> yes. >> the freeze tries to break the mindset of i'm entitled to my cola. i'm entitled to have my taxes protected from inflation, sort of this psychological ability that we have developed over the last 30 years. i intentionally put tough things in there to force the political choices to go to theñr other kis of savings. >>

john? >> talking head. >> ok. >> on the night of the election, just the image of him and his wife and kids walking on to that stage, it was clear that he was going to win. >> anything since he's become president? >> i would say probably the -- at the podium. i think he's a great speech -- >> at the podium -- excuse me, on the inauguration day just taking his oath. >> tim? >> the inaugural ball, just him and his wife dancing. >> vick? >> pick a basketball. like a regular guy. >> bernadette? >> it would have to be the -- his acceptance of the presidency. but since then he hasn't done anything to make me feel connected. >> i think the vision of the crowds when he got elected -- the look of hope that everybody had. i'm not so sure they still have that look now but -- >> yeah, has the hope disappeared? >> it's fizzled. >> it's fizzled says bernadette. >> anybody else says the hope's disappeared? >> the excitement is totally gone. >> the excitement's gone? >> just a regular president. >> what? >>

>> i certainly agree with john on that. that book he wrote was part of the american presidents series, and he told me when we talk about this that the only thing that/center wanted him to change -- schlessinger 1 interchange was when we had gone to mexico city but they would not negotiate. we could just take over the whole country. he believed that that was a more serious movement at that time that was in the book. john went back and put it in. my research indicates that it was of byplay of the mexican war. but john has polk exactly right. he would have gotten right into the city politics of today. although not so much in terms of face-to-face confrontation, because paul was not that it that. but he was could outmanoeuvring his rivals behind the scenes. >> for those who say that today's politics are a lot more acidic and difficult, a lot more uncivilized -- what do you say to them? >> no, there are various period in our history where politics had just been is raucous and nasty and better as we -- and better as we are experi

-john has an exactly right. i think john has it exactly right.d at attempting to alpha maneuver his rivals on the scene. >> or does that say that today's politics are a lot more difficult and uncivil, what do you say to them? >> there are various times in the history where politics have been just as nasty and better as we are experiencing today. many americans are a little uncomfortable with a brand of politics that we're waiting through, at we have gone through that. the early part of the republic when people were writing pamphlets were very nasty and bitter. every single lead the up to the civil war. -- everything that leading edge to the civil war. -- everything leading up to teh he civil war. there is only one constant and that is human nature. >> on the administration did give him credit for making decisions and having accomplishments. acquire california from mexico, acquired organ from britain, reduced tariff rates in create an independent treasury to ensure currency stability. >> during the jackson era there was a big issue at the bank of

so i don't want to dump particularly on john.e fact of the matter is that most of the realists got things wrong. so atchison wanted to reconstitute the world economy, number one. number two, he wanted a soft piece to reconstitute japan and germany as economic producers, engines of the world economy, but not ones with the former military clout. and then, by 1947 and 48, the third major problem was how to contain the sofeyt union and its -- soviet union and allies. the one thing he never got straight was the enormous force deployed by anti colonial movements, in vietnam especially but in other places. it's hard for young people to recall how the towering influence of third world leaders just 30 years ago, and movements that obsessed the united states, again vietnam being a particularly good example. but atchison and ken and most of the people of their generation didn't believe that colonial people could raise a finger in their own defense or cause major problems. racial discrimination or racial prejudice was sometimes also involved

john adams went to war, declared naval war, french. he stripped americans of their first amendment rights to free speech and freedom of the press. thomas jefferson imposed a trade embargo that bankrupted the nation and james madison declared war unnecessarily on britain, which just signed a peace treaty. those three presidents left the nation still threatened on the north by british troops, threatened on the south by spanish troops and threatened in the west has indian tribes slaughtered farmers. it took monroe to end those threats and lead the still small, still poor, still undeveloped nation to greatness. it took monroe to transform that little nation into an empire. now along the way to greatness, monroe fell in love with and married the beautiful elizabeth kortright, new york heiress who unlike most women of her day had received a magnificent education in the arts, history and literature. she could hold her own with the best educative men of her era. theirs was perhaps the greatest love affair in white house history. i mean, you ta

john, he is an unusual sort of fellow. when you read this book everytime you turn the page he is taking a risk. but the world is in full of people who take risks, especially right now. we are quite risk-averse so how do we get people to take those risks, to create this growth in the economy that you were talking about? john's story is based on five principles about the good things that will happen to you if you try. >> actually i think people want to take the risk. i know so many people who want to start companies and want to expand their companies. it is just very hard right now to finance it. so much of the money is in short term. it is in hedge funds and selling the short and building things so we have got to get the act of facilitating and building. i advocated a change in the capitol gains structure and that was a nonstarter but if we award for people making money in the year ended day. whatever reward them for building something over ten years. the great wealth creators in business for the last 25 years are long-term

commenting on president john f. kennedy's assassination in 1967, walter cronkite said, quote, only in fiction do we find that the loose ends are neatly tied. real life is not all that tight, and neither is the jefferson hemmings case. coming to terms with the jefferson is not easy for some in the 21st century. jefferson was no saint, but none of his biographers claim he was. no one will deny that the facts about the paternity of sally's children are repulsive evidence of one of the worst aspects of the slave system, the manner by which some enslaved women were sexually abused by their masters. but the hemmings myth has come full circle. in 1840, citizens passed a resolution, quote, vindicating the memory of mr. jefferson from posthumus slanders, with regard to his private character. these individuals were his neighbors, who had the opportunity of personally knowing the true state of facts. you know, when you visit monticello, is but a short walk from the pastoral west lawn down the sloping hill to jeffersons gravesi

so i think it stand a chance, sure. >> john mckin none? >> i tend to agree. speaker pelosi has recently started to talk more favorably, even though these still has reservations about the details i think she's starting to talk more favorable about it. that certainly bodes well for the idea. and the administration is also showing signs of increased interest in a commission. there was a document that was leaked a few days ago that suggested that they're actively considering it and that they have concerns about how politically achievable all of the goals really are. but they're certainly coming around it seems. >> but is it a commission that either of you think will have real political muscle and the ability to reign in spending? >> well, if the members of the commission are the people that senator conrad described, the key money folks in congress, the people who oversee writing taxes and then spending that money, i think then that does stand a chance because those are people with a lot of power who note issue. >> this of course coming in the midst of the healthc

we may debate that in a sort of position halfway between john mueller and a john mueller's opponentsthe debate over 9/11. the question on 912 was are we in a world where russia fundamentally miss estimated between nonstate actors and states. our governments suddenly now because of something we now know on 912 fundamentally weaker vis-À-vis these nonstate terrorist than we thought. and with the passage of time, is less and less plausible that that event is a harbinger of a new era in which governments are particularly powerless. very hard for john mueller is one of the reasons why governments seem to be prevailing is because of all the stuff they are doing. if they weren't doing all the counterterrorism they are doing that we don't know that this ballots would've worked out the way it has so far. >> if i could just add to that, and say something i wanted to say about 9/11. i think maybe i disagree with mary that 9/11 is a moment to the fall of the soviet human or the berlin wall. and what was it then? if you think back 100 years before that to the amicus attacks that happened time and

[laughter] >> the book john paul ii, john paul ii was a hugely important relation to his relationship enfolded when he went there in 1979, this was a pivotal moment in the eyes of solitary. it was absolutely no accident or no coincidence, but direct relationship between the pope, the polish pope, first non-italian hoping for a half-century, on the sense that god was on their side. this was pretty crucial for the development of solidarity in 1980, 1981. however, no more than reagan's power was the pope's moral authority able to prevent the imposition of martial law in the summer 1981. so i would argue that gorbachev was more important for the transformations of 1989 then-president reagan and pope john paul ii put together. it was the occupants of the chroma, not the occupant of the white house or the vatican who had locked the doors to change in eastern europe. it was they who held the keys that could open them. after three leaders in a row, brezhnev and grudging cup, they chose the youngest leader, gorbachev, in 1985. a lot of people to view up to the mid 1980s and even beyond that th

i am simply said john lewis is with us today.thy of respect. and we must remember that about everyone, including ourselves. it is in the legacy of dr. king and mahatma gandhi, his holiness leads the way in following the power of nonviolence to promote freedom of his people and people around the world. for more than 20 years salinas has advocated for tibetan autonomy. koster -- for more than 20 years his holiness has advocated for tibetan autonomy. he has expressed a desire to visit china and to engage directly with chinese officials. it is our hope that the chinese government will welcome this opportunity for a peaceful resolution of the issue of tibet. the call of tibet is a challenge to the conscience of the world. we must not fail to meet that challenge. in fact, unless we speak out for human rights in china and in tibet, we lose all moral authority to talk about human rights anywhere in the world.

john barry he said that major books where prospective. a huge controversy. i am sure you will like it, actually. he is here, and i'm going to sure you. >> i am very interested to talk with you about your perspective on where you're going to my particular with regard to the changing business model. >> i'm not allowed to talk about that. he knows all the answers. >> tells of a great story of the going tough harvard. i don't need you. i can tell all i need on youtube. >> that's right. remember that. >> had to take it out. anyway, here is to ireland. >> this week. >> yes. i have got the best. >> that is wonderful. >> one-third irish, one-third in this command one-third welch. >> well, the irish have a lot of sympathy for the welsh. if they had been able to this time they would be irish. >> is that a book? you can't the of the book without me signing it. >> i've got one. >> i'll sign it. two shall i make it out to. >> i will tell you that secretary powell is wondering a around looking for you. >> well, i have got to find him. name. >> trevor. >> very nice to meet

the muslims in the extreme fanatic john younand john royit- in the era of the fiery speakers and the pounding on tables, they take it out of context. they are intimidated and they're taken. it is my responsibility. if you want to be in islam, read the corona and do not let anyone else will you. -- read the koran and do not let anyone else sway you point. >> how can muslim organizations assure other american organizations that it is ok to monitor most loved suspected of posing a danger? this is the difference between profiling and intervention. how do we constructed in a way that it is done in a healthy way so we do not have to resort to profiling? >> let's talk about profiling. in law enforcement, we have done racial profiling cases. racial profiling is stupid. it says we are going to pull over everyone who is african american who are driving a car. or they're going to say we are going to pull over every latino driving a truck. in riverside, they did that. they put out a bulletin that said it would pull over every latino in a truck. that is stupid. if there is a threat, this can be d

the fatal attack last week on four-year-old john-paul massey from merseyside raises once again concerns about the effectiveness of legislation relating to dangerous dogs. will my right honorable friend agree to meet, with me, a small delegation of those who are concerned about the issue to discuss what can be done? >> my honorable friend is absolutely right. this was a terrible death, and i am very sorry to learn about what happened to the little boy in liverpool, john-paul massey. she knows that the police are continuing to investigate the circumstances of the death. they have also referred their handling of an original report from february 2009 to the independent police complaints commission. it would obviously be inappropriate to comment further on that instance, but the issue of the status of dangerous dogs was raised at the antisocial behavior working party a few days ago. we are working with the home office to ensure that those on the front line make full use of the powers available to them to tackle the problem of dogs affecting communities. the government have provided additiona

earlier this week, gwen ifill spoke with john to get an upon where things stand now. she began by asking him whether there is still a standoff between chancellor rhee and the unions over contract negotiations and her decision to lay off teachers. >> reporter: that's where we are now. the union appealed that decision and the judge looked over the facts of the case and threw out the appeal, so she won there, but there is not any movement on the contract. that's been going on -- those negotiations have been off and on for the entire time basically, and they're basically off right now. >> ifill: both of us have been watching reports with interest, want to know the bottom-line answer to the question about what improvement -- how you measure improvement. do we know if what a school chancellor like michelle rhee is doing -- do we know if it's working? >> reporter: there is one piece of solid evidence. there is a national test called the national assessment of educational progress or nape and that's the gold standard, gwen, and only four states and the district of columbia sh

tonight, we will show you interviews from chief justice john roberts and justice john paul stevens. justice roberts talks about the court, its role in society and the tasks of the chief justice. this took place in the supreme court. >> chief justice john roberts, as we sit in this room, surrounded by some of the famous people who were in this court before, we want to start with the history of the court. how much is the modern court like the court that the framers envisioned? >> i think it is still as they envisioned, one of the three branches of government. they did not give any thought at all as to where the supreme court should be based. in the basement of the capital did not seem suitable for one of the coequal branches of government. as for the court's responsibility, they eventually got this beautiful building of its own. >> we will be able to spend more time with the building and how it operates staying with the history of the court -- operates. that staying with the history of the court, who stands out? >> the great chief, john marshall. he was the first person to take the jo

"part of a patriot." caller: i probably read 60 books about vietnam veterans this year. it is an incredible time. one fact i learned is that such a few people made the decision for us to go to war. three people sat around a desk and decided for us to go to war in 1962 pre that book is an incredible lesson for all americans to repair it is "lessons in disaster." host: ky. caller: i liked "arguing with expectidiots." it made sense. i enjoy reading it. another book, "last free man in america. wrote that is a local politician who wrote to them. host: here is a look at peter degallows talking about t

is that a same john smith or different john smith? you can identify this really well. you can track people you registered as you're going through. you know you registered somebody because you have that some spreadsheet over here. you can knock out when they voted. small election you can do it on your own pc which is helpful. okay. you're going to be able to track those who will cast their ballot early. people you've identified because you made them do it. people already registered. figure it out. this will save energy and save money. you can do it in, in california we did it with just a vendor. we sent the download every day. matched up files, kicked it out and new group of people we're calling. comes easier and easier as technology gets more up-to-date. okay. so i legal, i want to make this point. know what the law is. go do research on that. figure out exactly what your people can do. what paid staff can do. have observers ready to go. plan out when you need to start having legal teams go stand at voting places make sure things go the way they ought to. double-check

john mccain did. he did not call it that, but he certainly said we have got to pay for broader health care coverage by getting rid of the exclusion from the income tax -- which is a big deal number and would have been a good policy, i think. >> the social discourse is a little bit imbalance. >> i do think that. i think we're saying that if we have got it -- if you want these benefits, we have got to pay for that. >> we have a number of people defeated over raising taxes. that is why we do not have energy taxes are carbon taxes, and as alice add before, -- said before, you call it something behind attacker the politics of attacks, they have bad off the table for a serious -- in a serious way for quite awhile. that is why the crisis is going to get so big. what is going happen is that we will have a value-added tax, because we have to put money into the medicare and social security trust funds and pay down the deficit. it will be all large on the bus agreement. the only question is, what happens to heal
