i keep my friend john white here, i keep a calling in my pocket with james -- one of travis man in that says never forget in memory of our fallen brothers. what we try and do with them is the greatest thing we can do for someone like james, to actually live there values. if we live the values of james or travis man in, we know we are doing them a great honor and we know we will make ourselves better as well. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you. >> for more about eric grietens and his work is eric grietens.com. >> here is a short author interview from c-span's campaign 2012 bus that travels the country. >> you work with several professors to talk about democracy. tell you how you do your research and why. >> we're trying to understand the relationship between globalization and democracy. the end of the 20th century in the united states was a period of dramatic change. dramatic political, economic and environmental changes that really changed people's lives in a lot of ways. what we wanted to understand is what does that mean for local democracy. what does that mean for every day

what's more, someone named john white had done the same thing.p ticket for cash from tampa to atlanta for the evening of the murder. and, like agacio, he'd never used the return fare. agacio, a nephew instructed to arrange for a rental car for orlando. one dropped off at tampa airport. the pieces were snapping into place for tommy ray. here's what ray was thinking. serrano using an alias flew from atlanta to orlando, picked up the rental car and drove to erie manufacturing and committed the murders. then he drove to tampa, dropped the car off, returned to atlanta using another alias all in the ten hours allotted. all done in a calculated way to cover his tracks. so do you go to the prosecutor at that point and say, we got it, let's go to the grand jury, let's get an indictment? >> yes. >> and he said? >> he said, you're close, but you're not there. need a little bit more. >> what's he need? >> he needs something placing nelson, an eyewitness, physical evidence, something placing nelson back in the area on the day of the homicide. >> do you think

higher than al gore got with 42% of whites, and john kerry's 41% of whites. but it was clear in the 2010 midterms, when democrats got just 37% of whites and the president's current support with whites is at 38%. clarence, this is about politics and ethnicity. i have never heard the word uppity used except in combination with another word, the n word. >> it is the perfect dog whistle word and we also know rush limbaugh loves to walk that political correctness line and appeal to the demographics you're talking about. i think it's important to remember that what democrats haven't carried the white male-vote since l.b.j. in 1964. this is all part of the culture war that's been going on in the country since the 1960's. rush limbaugh knows how to plug into that group. that's his base. as soon as i heard that he had said this, i said, is this sweeps month? chris: i think it is this audience. he's very commercial, rush is. but let me ask you about this. i think it was a bugle call, not a dog whistle. working-class whites and the way they call it in the polling is non

not only are gas prices at a record time but john said the white house is doing two thingings in drainingour wallet. you love to talk energy policy. what do you have? >> no one in the united states government has done talking about it. we are the only country without an energy plan and that is beyond stupid. the key stone xl pipe line that comes over nebraska is being hut down. oil that is produced up in canada. we get all of the co2 emissions and bad f. we don't do that that oil goes to china. 60 piles off of the key west of florida a chinese driller is digging n the spill is there. we have to clean tup. we don't get the oil and jobs. we are more and more dependent on foreign oil it is ridiculous what the administration is doing. >> cancellation of the keystone pipe line. and regutionulsion that are hindering drilling off shore. are we going in the wrong direction? >> yes, i think we are. and we know that deeper levels there is probably enough oil for several generation and the gas and amount of natural gas is beyond. that is manage we can use. i don't think it will affect you this seaso

john harbaugh has bragging whites -- bragging rights for the next four years over his brother. we will have much more coming up later on and post-game reaction. >> we will check back in with you later. officials in phoenix are searching -- have recovered six people whose plane crashed in arizona last night. the co-pilot had just picked up his three children to celebrate the thanksgiving holiday. the plane went down east of phoenix in a remote mountain area. it is hard for rescuers to reach the crash site. they do not expect to find any survivors. three american families have a lot to be thankful for tonight. the family got the news that they would be coming home. you can see his mother on the phone. he was one of three american students arrested in cairo a couple of days ago. his mother says he is -- she is over judge -- overjoyed by a judge's order to release our son. >> i spoke to the consulate at the u.s. embassy. he confirmed that the three boys were being released, that they were very fortunate, that this is something we should truly celebrate. >> something to be grateful

whites in pennsylvania last time. he lost the suburban counties outside of pittsburgh by twice the margin that john kerry did. and maybe the whole country, is going to be be white collar whites who have been more supportive of him in the past. in pennsylvania they moved sharply away among barack obama carried 52% of them in 2008, they moved sharply away from sestak in 2010. if he can't recapture those voters in 2012, given with the blue collar whites very hard to win pennsylvania. if he doesn't win pennsylvania, thoords get to 2070. >> sestak came close in a model that really, really favors the republicans. they will never get anything like this mod until 2012 like they got in 2010. keep that in mind. the democratic profile is going to be much better. i don't think anybody would argue that. >> we'll spend a lot of time in the suburbs figuring out the answer to that question right there. >>> the man who tried to assassinate president ronald reagan is asking to go free. the legendary abc white house correspondent sam donaldson and the secret service agent whose quick thinking may have saves the president's life

but let, let's just sayú thhre's a 97% chance that it'll be either mitt romney or john huntsman. the whitelieves3 that both of those candidates are in very different ways are profoundly flawed. and that -- and that against either one of them they will. &-again with the aid of a billion dollars and, aad this is something you can't. >> smith: underestimate. >> heilemann: .you can't underestimate. people. >> smith: yeah. >> heilemann: hat, what, what we will see. >> smith: and it'll be the most money by a long shot ever aised. >> heilemann: oh by, by, by, by, yes, by a long shot. >> smith: right. >> heilemann: .on bbth sides. >>>smith: right. >> heilemann: and, and the republican candidate will not raise as much money directly but will have outside groups. >> smith: and we'll have enough. >> heilemann: we'll have, oh yes, i mean i hink we'll probably almost have parity. if you, if you, if you include all the super pac money, all this outside money that. >> smith: right. >> heilemann: .that affiliated groupp are able to run on the republican side, which will be where the action is on the repub

john gonzalez is at the white house with what else we have learned. >> it appears the u.s. secret service has a new security detail, and it started tonight. federal officials say that threats against herman cain are credible and he will now have security, much like the president. at the white house this is a common scene at all hours u.s. secret service patrolling the grounds on foot, bike, and behind the wheel. now herman cain is the first republican presidential candidate to receive the same protection. >> if his life is in jeopardy, it seems reasonable. it is ridiculous people are sending death threats in the first place. >> it frustrates me why a presidential candidate would have this type of protection. >> leaders approved the request today. some believe that it is a bit much. >> i did not know if he needs all of that protection. if he has allegations, maybe he should tell everybody what that is about. >> the extra security is after remember of death threats he has reportedly received. he is also experiencing a bounce in the polls during his sexual harassment scandal.

. >> new video and reaction overnight after the occupy baltimore interrupted a former white house official at johns hopkins university. >>> so we're eight days away from thanksgiving and there's a new program that has been launched. i'll tell you about the program coming up and we'll talk to the structuretor. -- the instructor. >>> let's get a quick check of that forecast. it was a rainy tuesday night. >>> it looks like a purple haze in the monitors. we have towson elementary school. you see the reflection off in the parking lot there. we have rain overnight and it has not rained in towson for a few hours but the roads are still damp and we have a little mist and fog. we're looking at 55 at the technical academy we picked up two/10ths of an. >>> of rain. a lot of people that get up early to run have been saying how wonderful the weather has been this week. we have been blessed and graced with the temperatures that should be afternoon numbers. reality will come back in. we have rain pushes ahead of our boundary. moderate ran to the south now. this is west of washington d.c. a little fog and mist thi

. >> i think it's black and white. john, let me ask you about the political aspects of this. we're not a court of law, but i'm thinking that -- we've heard a lot of murky, we've heard a lot of buzz. everybody talks about what they think they've heard as the best reporting on this. but this isn't reporting. this isn't the media. this is a woman with a clear-cut memory, apparently, or an accusation of a memory which is stark as hell? >> yeah. and i think it's conceivably a watershed moment in this whole episode. as you said, and i'll draw it out a little bit further, herman cain last week had a series of allegations and a series of facts that became known. each day, they got a little worse, to my eye. but they all were still confined to stories by the reporters at politico to quotes from settlement documents to comments by lawyers on behalf of alleged vikts. but we had no face, no human being. now we have this woman who i thought came across as credible on tv. she did not come across as flaky. she didn't come across as someone who was in some way not to be believed on the face

white vote since then. it's not like bill clinton or john kerry won the white voters, it's always been a struggle.president has to do with blue collar white voters is stay competitive. look, we didn't blow the world away with blue collar white voters last time around, but we do have to stay competitive with them. and when you look at the choices across the aisle -- i am going to get partisan for a second -- the republicans who want to let wall street write their own rules, i think i like our guy's chances. >> the president is doing -- when you said with the severity of this crisis -- has held up remarkable high in a way that's almost puzzling. given that you're there through now our fourth -- actually the recession starts in december of 2007. this is within an inch of being the fifth bad thanksgiving in a row for millions of americans. to be in the 40s, that's a testament to how the nonwhite parts of his base are sticking with him. this is a very bad economy even though here in washington, d.c. you can't get a reservation on a thursday night. >> don't trust anybody who never leaves washington, don

, "if we keep talking about the economy we're going to lose," was the president quoting john mccain, and the white house press secretary carney said it was a deliberate distortion and, rather remarkable and unfortunate way, in his words for mitt romney to start. >>shepard: thank you, wendell, from the white house. the defense secretary panetta is calling for congress to avoid automatic budget cuts that he says would tear a seam in the nation's defense. the so-called congressional super committee failed to reach a deal on cutting $1.2 trillion from the deficit. if they tried, even. so, unless something changes before 2013 the automatic trigger is set to slash up to $600 billion from defense budget over a decade. and mike has the new live on capitol hill and every person involved in this knew this was coming, now they are change the rules they put in place. >>reporter: well, house armed services committee chairman said heel not preside over crippling the u.s. military so he says in the coming days, presumably of at turkey he will proposal legislation to revent the defense cuts. for more on the issue

white vote. by 2008 when john mccain won in the election were lost the election mckay and actually got 55% of the white vote he did one point better than bush had done in 2000, losing by seven plus%. so you look at that and say this is an issue that if republicans can't, if they are going to get buried among african-american voters, they can't get buried among hispanic voters where they have been when he or in a whole stop digging there would be advice for republicans right now. >> switching to converse, this person asks the think john boehner will become a stronger speaker if a significant number of his tea party aligned freshman lose the reelection bids? >> i seem to be a happier person. [laughter] >> i always wondered in the privacy of the polling booth who did mitch mcconnell vote for? [laughter] >> look, the tea party got him there, you know, simply because there was this incredible freshman class phenomenon which was tea party driven. but look it's hard to write the tiger and i don't think he anticipated we would have had this incredible series of moments over the government shut down over

and will romney's tough talk on iran help him win the nomination and the white house? john mcmahon and todd harris are our strategist. you're so fascinating on these subjects. this is all being played in your play penn, the republican party. do you think that herman cain at this point is a plausible nominee of the republican party? if he doesn't come out and clearly designate what he did wrong, contain it to some reasonable inappropriate behavior, if it occurred, and make clear he didn't do anything that really gets to character, if you will. if he doesn't do that, where's he stand? >> i don't see a path for herman cain to win the nomination. if there ever was one, which i think is an open question, the fact that he and his campaign have bungled this whoa thing so thoroughly -- >> unless it's all true. >> well, look, either way, if all of it is true, then there are serious problems -- >> would you have been able to handle it -- suppose he did what he's accused of doing, which is basically being a predator. saying, if you want the job, lady, you've got to give me oral sex, i

and one where an aide discussed with the colleague role of white house counsel john dean in the paintf hush money to men arrested at water gate. >> i took 40. >> the grand jury testimony which nixon gave voluntarily unsealed by a federal district judge this year following a petition by historian stanley cupper and the group public citizen. in washington, james rosen, fox news. >> the son of news corp. chairman rupert murdock told british lawmakers he was kept in the dark about illegal reporting methods at now defunked news of the world tabloid. he blames two sub boardnants keep information from him. several members of parliament accused murdered more of conflicting stories in the testimony. they're the parent company of fox news. >>> we'll talk about rick perry lapse in concentration and the rest of the g.o.p. field when the fox all-stars join me after the >>> i stepped in it, that's for sure. matter of fact, i think still some of it stuck on my feet, but you know, the fact is there are a lot of americans out there that were not unlike me they think about federal agencies they'd like

john, you're with the 10. what are they worrying about -- are the people in the white house you cover worried about a third party? on the left? >> look at history. look at what happened with bush-gore in 2000. a lot of people still believe that ralph nader hadn't been on the ballot, there's no question if you have a third party particularly if it's on the left that's going to be a huge, huge, huge lose-lose for barack obama. >> it doesn't have to be on the left. you remember jimmy carter. john anderson was not -- in the middle. the third party candidates when you're an incumbent are bad. chris: because they give a voter a chance to avoid making a decision. >> and that referendum framework, it gives you another option, and that will be in this race, which is going to be so close, so close. chris: who's coming? do you know? >> well -- chris: who wants to run? >> i really have a hard time. thlings the problem is figuring out who this person is. if could you get someone who had half of colin powell's foreign policy credentials and half of mike bloomberg's money and who is half as crazy as ross perot, you would have

>>guest: the white house knows this is politically unpopular and when the headlines hit john mccain went to the senate floor and the white house said we do not decide the bonuses, a complicated message for the white house and republicans are trying to replace fannie mae and freddie mac and it is harder to replace them when you get into the details but that is something talked a lot on the campaign trail between president obama and whoever wins the nomination next year. >> thank you, bob. the going now using the solyndra scandal in a bid to unseat democrats. will it sick? one democrat is here with us coming up. >> the massive government loan to solyndra now being used in political ads. >> the government lost millions on a bankrupt solar industry company called solyndra. >> that is what the program was designed by congress to do, to take bets. >> take bets? with tax dollars? the obama administration loaned the in town solyndra after they had been warned it was financially unstable. >> true engine of economic growth is companies like solyndra. >> and now the target of that ad, friend of min

upset -- he was an upset winner this time, but john kasich and one of the toughest candidates, as you should remember. in 1982, i can tell you when i was the whiteow got into my office as a candidate, and i said, who are you? and he said, i'm running against some democrat. and the year we lost 26 seats, he beat a democrat. >> '82. >> '82. >> you mean that campaign i was involved in? >> that campaign you were involved. he is a very tough candidate. he was not expected to win in ohio. he came back, he won big. so my sense is they've got their guards up, they know they're in a battle. but as far as the presidential race, you know, tough battles sometimes make your troops stronger and we'll see. >> you know what, ron, out in california, there where you live, it seems to me, you saw the same exact thing, overkill. a popular guy like arnold schwarzenegger gets elected in a roll call, comes in as mr. clean. first thing he does is target -- i'm going to get the firefighters, public employees. i'm going to get the nurses, you know, i'm going to get the teachers. the public said, no way, jose, you're not getting any of that. he misread completely his mand

john hopkins applied university applied physics laboratory and all of these tests have confirmed that the scanners don't pose a significant risk to public health but the scientists who've written the white house pointed out several flaws in these tests for example john hopkins lab didn't test an actual airport machine instead the tests done at johns hopkins were done on a model built by the manufacturer and set up to resemble a system previously testable. and independent studies published in scientific journals in the last few months have also cast doubt on the radiation dose and the machine's effectiveness for detecting explosives peter read a physics professor at arizona state university who is one of the cosigners of the letter to the white house has tried to calculate the radiation level by examining the small batch of backscatter images that have been released publicly he concluded that it's highly unlikely the machines could produce such high quality images with a low doses of radiation that the t.s.a. claims professor rez says they have to produce these kind of pictures the radiation must be at least forty five times forty five hundred percent higher and the results measured by t
