karl rove is here to weigh in .d her baby literally come back to life after dying in labor. what many are calling a true christmas miracle. we'll talk to the doctor about how this could have happened. that's coming up. >> on christmas eve, a colorado woman went in labor. there is no reason why it should happen. miracle mom doctor. >> dr. stephanie martin in colorado joins us live to talk about good morning, doctor, happy new year. >> good morn happy new year to you. >> immediate question. certainly the e-mails from the fox newers when it unfolded it was a christmas miracle and the mom coming to life and the baby coming back to life. what went wrong in there something specific that we know of that went wrong in the whole thing? >> we haven't been able to explain why tracey had cardiac. we created a list of different possibilities that we considered that are evaluation afterwards so far has not given us a devinate answer. >> go through the possibilities. some wondered whether it was result of the epidural that we know

karl marx did not create the soviet union.rl marx was a 19th century radical who sat around trying to figure out how to help working people, and had this idea with many other people, that working people have to work less than an 80 hour week. so they could think, so they could enjoy life, so they could read books. and i guess him being karl marx, so that they could go to a lot of meetings. and eventually, form unions. and out of that effort, there came the first transnational labor movement that led to labor unions in time, and lead to social democratic parties in europe, and lead to specific legislation, like vacations and the eight hour day. so who goes around thinking i'm on vacation, thank god for the labor movement? not many. i don't know where we think these things come from, but the book is an attempt to anchor them in causes. here's some of the things that were achieved in the '60s. voting rights for southern black people in the 18 to 20. 46 million people. the end of the indochina wars in which at least 2 million peop

what's that about, karl?> there is a saying that goes haitians, 80% catholic, 50% protestant and 100% voodoo. they're enmeshed here with catholic beliefs as well, and that was plain to me today when i pulled up alongside the road and some friends were burying a loved one. they dug the grave themselves, and they were sprinkling sugar cane alcohol, and they were dropping three handfuls of dirt in there, and they were saying that was part of their belief that they don't want to be the next ones. they said they don't want him to come next for them, they were referring to the voodoo spirit of the dead, but certainly the catholicism and the voodoo enmeshed here which makes for some complicated but certainly interesting funeral rights, if you can call it that. of course, whatever religion they are, underlying this is the sorrow and grief of losing friends and loved ones, larry. >> larry: we heard you had quite a time getting there, karl. >> we certainly did. normally the trip from santa domingo to port-au-prince, we

joining us now from austin, texas, karl rove. i thought the iraq war criticism did go too far and i thought it cost us lives of american servicemen over there because it was so intense and the back and forth was so debilitating to the military, sapped morale, made decisions harder to make that even though iraq was controversial, i recognize it would have been better if america had come together. i think we're in the same position now. am i wrong? >> well, it is possible to take criticism too far. i think, for example, the accusation that bush lied about weapons of mass destruction was enormously hurtful to the country and inappropriate. but look, when on the surge, when president obama, then senator obama opposed the surge saying it wouldn't work, it would increase violence, not decrease violence, increase sectarian strife, not reduce it, that it would put more americans at risk unnecessarily and it wouldn't work, he had a right as a united states senator in a democracy to speak his opinion. he was joined by others, john kerry an

thanks, karl. karl penhaul. incredible stories every day. dan woolly was buried in the rubble of the hotel montana in port-au-prince for 65 hours. as you can see he survived the ordeal. his wife, christy, joins us, too, in colorado springs, colorado. how did you do it, dan? >> you know what? i had a lot of people praying for me. praying for safety for this trip and god was there. he was listening to their prayers and he helped me survive. >> larry: what were you doing in haiti? >> i work with compassion international. i was there with a filmmaker, david hames. we were shooting a documentary to shine a light on the poverty, extreme poverty of children there. >> larry: now, i understand you wrote notes while buried under the rubble to your wife and your two sons. how did you do that? >> well, i realized that i was always hoping for a rescue, but i realized that i may not have that opportunity, that might not be god's plan for me at that time. so i had a camera with me and i was able to use the light from the focus on the camera to shine on a p

karl? >> yeah, indeed, larry. just beyond the airport this -- this day, and as we drove by, we saw, or we heard, a single shot ring out. that got our attention. we looked across and at that point, we saw two haitian police officers holding two detained young men. and at that point as we spotted them, more shots rang out and we saw those police officers shoot the young detainees at point blank range in the process of stopping the car, we run out to see what is happening. and on the ground, one of these men was gasping his last breaths. there was another man who was badly wounded. and the police evidently thought that they had been stealing bags of rice. the wounded man denied it and the witnesses nearby said no such thing had occurred, larry. i'm karl penhaul. in port-au-prince. it's difficult to talk about memories here from haiti from this disaster. there's so much information, so many sights and sound. it's really an emotional overload. what i'm left with more are impressions. this, for example. people leaving t

karl rove has said he thinks the president ought to resolve to have a few less historic moments.he question we started out the year, has the president, with all of the political capital, overplayed his hand? >> absolutely. >> i -- really? >> go ahead. >> he's absolutely overplayed his hand. he came in riding the wave of his own awesomeness. seemed like he never read press clippings. i agree ed with the health care initiative. when you look at town hall meetings look at what everyday american people, a certain sector were saying almost as if obama didn't understand people didn't like him. the fact he had done 110 interviews and 110 talks on health care, and american people weren't persuaded it showed that people like him but they didn't find his argument persuasive. it was almost as if he said if they listen to me one more time they'll be convinced that's the type of obama mentality and the rahm emanuel mentality that is undermined obama's effectiveness this year. i hope they learn the lesson in 2010 but having not so many unprecedented moenlts and a need to put obama in front. >>

wheeler became the asl counsel, and he was, i call him the karl rove of his day. he is the guy who invented pressure politics. the way, how the tranny was going to squeeze these politicians to force them to vote dry instead of voting wet. they met here in this building in 1895, and began how the asl was going to turn the country dry. one of the things they decided going to do was to go after the state's first. by the states, they got the states to allow local option laws. once there was a local option law in place, that meant that the church allies of asl, and these were evangelical protestant, could use their political influence and force the county to go to dry. and you see that as much across the deep south to this day. and parts of the midwest you still see a lot of dry cannings. that's because of the strong emphasis, strong influence i should say, of the southern baptist convention. >> once enough states had voted to put some kind of dry law in place, that would then force the congressman from that state to vote dry. so by 1950, a majority of the states had s

karl penhaul is still with us. karl, it is clear that the haitian government is in charge? we know the u.s. military has officially taken charge of the airport. but there is a semblance of the haitian government on top of this? >> reporter: it certainly is not. yes. we have heard comments from the haitian president rene preval. we see in some of the lines principally for gasoline, haitian police standing by, in the streets i have seen one or two haitian police as well. you can't say there is haitian leadership here. you cannot say that haitians are in control. that said, again, going back to past experience, past disasters in haiti, you wouldn't have expected to see haitian leadership there either. they are absent from the scene. why is that? one of the reasons seems to be the haitian leaders, regional leaders, city leaders said in some cases they felt that white outsiders from the united nations and aid groups were virtually running a parallel government and weren't letting them take responsibility for any aid effort. i'm not sure weather they feel this is going on. it is

>> karl? >> i was afraid you would ask. [laughing] you know, it's very hard to teach old economists new tricks. every time we have a recession it reminds me of the line from "the hunt from red october," "he always goes home to mama" about the submarine session. we run back to mccain and he describes the same old stuff, spend lots and lots of money, get yourself in a deficit. well, canes never started a business. canes grew up in the aftermath of the first huge surge of the industrial revolution. in his world what we thought of as entrepreneurs largely dying out -- i think most economists of consequential power in the united states today grew up when we didn't think about entrepreneurs. they don't know about entrepreneurs. it's astounding how very few consequencal economists even talk about entrepreneurs. until you understand that the america we occupy is the product, to a huge extent, of people who are still living -- think about it this way. someplace between 33% to 40% of today's gross domestic product comes out of firm t

karl vincent arrived along with helicopters that will be critical in delivering assistance in the dayst-au-prince. food, medicine along with doctors continue to arrive along with aide workers at the airport help continues to flow not just from the united states but from brazil, mexico, canada, france, colombia and the dominican republic among others. this under scores what i told the president, the entire world stands with the government and the people of haiti for in haiti's devastation we all see the common humanity that we share. and as the international community continues to respond, i do believe that america has a continued responsibility to act. our nation has a unique capacity to reach out quickly and broadly and to deliver assistance that can save lives. that responsibility obviously is magnified when the devastation that's been suffer sd so near to us. haitians are our neighbors in the americas. and for americans they are family and friends. it's characteristic of the american people to help others in time of such severe need. that tease spirit that we will need sustain this

"the tax on a $26,000 plan will be up $2,000. the insurance company would pay the tax but would almost certainly pass it along to the employer and its employees." next column over it talks about in the light ofw3 potential har and this is the editors say, "there is a risk -- nobody knows how large -- that higher ductibles and co-payments would discourage some people, especially the chronic ill, from seeking medical care that they need." do you want to add t

the reason that dick cheney, karl rove, and all the bush people, the reason they say all these outrageoushings is because they know that today modern-day journalism will not call them out to avoid the conflict. our society, are functioning government, requires journalistic integrity and the ability to call things out there are ridiculous so we can improve an. guest: it is not something that i want to get engaged with. that is not my job. at the washington bureau of "the new york times" there are a lot of reporters. there's the political shop and the homeland security shop. and not a political reporter. -- i am not a political reporter. we are writing about the political aspects. it is not what my job is. host: how politics impact the policy of homeland security. guest: there's a question -- the first response from the administration was this half- hearted thing. they suggested they meant the system worked after the attack. and then the president's remarks were pretty subdued. when he was still on vacation, he said there was a systemic failure and the man should not have been allowed on th

there was a back and forth between david axelrod and karl rove. we looked at a claim by axelrod that was essentially what you said. he gave numbers on what the bush administration inherited in terms of the surplus, projected surplus, and what it left. we gave him a mostly true on that. i think he was off on one number that he used. i think it is important to give a perspective of history on all of these things. that is what we try to do with our truthometer. a lot of times elected officials will make claims about how things work, so we look at that, too. host: amanda on the republican line. caller: republican and independents should not stop with massachusetts. there is a lot of work to be done. i hope the tea party folks do not allow themselves to be coopted by the republicans. they need to remain independent. bill adair, i would like you to bring the truthometer on the scott brown campaign. he never mentioned he was republican. could you tell us, honestly, fairly, if his campaign ever mentioned he was a republican? guest: that is a great questio

was absurd. 7100 words poured about how she was barack obama's brain, you know -- essentially the karl rove figure in the obama administration. it talked about the role that she played in ensuring that obama remains authentic. and what they meant by that was his racial authenticity because she shares sort of a similar background as he does of being, you know, multiracial and she's there as a check and a balance on him, apparently. but it didn't talk about all these chicago connections. and the way that she had made money and the failures of her and richard daley's vision. and then this whole history came up again during the olympics debacle because, of course, it was the likes of valerie jarrett and the chicago cronies and richard daley who had pushed very hard for barack obama and michelle to go to bat for the 2016 olympics bid so that entire chicago contingent traveled abroad to make a that pitch. and it was a huge failure. and i think a turning point in people realizing the extent of the chicago way on the potomac. >> this is c-span's book tv. wanted c-span booktv. this is our "in d
