john kerry sa john kennedy said the dollar should be good as gold. clinton understood it. we have a lot of unexplored availability of gas and oil in alaska, offshore, onshore with the natural gas. we're having a huge natural gas boom. so if we don't put unnecessary barriers in the way, within less than a decade, for the first time since the 1960s, this country is going to be a net energy exporter. it's phenomenal. huge turn because of technological breakthroughs in drilling for natural gas and also coming with oil. more and more oil as well. >> just a few minutes left with our guest, steve forbes, who joins us from our new york studio. richard is a republican in middletown, new york. >> caller: yes, mr. forbes. a little over a month ago you talked on this show. and one caller asked the candidate with the best plan. only another candidate ron paul, you said to me that you liked ron paul's ideas, but not all of them. but he is the only one with a plan. he is the only one that beats obama. in the polls there, even though romney comes up even, ron paul wins. i mean he had 8500

this another way for democrats to remind people that the romneys are really rich unlike the kennedys or the kerrys amazing thing the conversation is this woman works like -- you work on "k" street. you don't know what life is like. who are you? you work for a lobby organization. >> i don't know what the imagination bit is. no one commented on that. >> apparently ann romney can't imagine either. >> to your point i have to say five boys does not rare lot of imagination. if they mixed it up with a girl. >> is it proof. no imagination? >> right. make more. >> come on.

and yet you look at the guys that make national tickets, mitt romney, john kerry -- >> ted kennedy. >ll, not ted. mike dukakis. the ones that get the nominations all seem a bit distant, a bit cool, a bit aloof. in both parties. >> well, you know, obviously, we have different personal relationships. i have known senator kerry for 40 years. we were prosecutors together. >> yeah. i like him. good guy. >> so i have -- i know a side of john that maybe others don't. he is a very warm, caring guy. you know, there was a recent book done by two writers for "the globe" that really captures the essence of the real romney. you know, the title of the book is "the real romney". and it describes him not derogatorily, but kind of as a cold, calculating, in some ways distant to those that don't know him. and i don't think many people really do know him. >> his family knows him. and for people that know him, closely, love the guy. but again, there was always this romney had this reputation in massachusetts as being a little sdoo distant, right? >> sure. it was distant. but like the congressman said, th

carey had all that money and now they want all of these tax jeeves, they didn't ask about the kennedys or john kerryt that romney has to come up with all this? >> host: thanks for the call. we are keeping track of the numbers, some coming in from new york. in all cases of the primaries and connecticut, delaware, rhode island, mitt romney is winning with 50 to 55 the low sixties in the vote. what's interesting is if you look who's coming in second for example but santorum coming in second, she of course dropped out of the race to weeks ago. newt gingrich is second in delaware but the letter states, ron polis second, newt gingrich is third or fourth. you can keep track of all this information online at c-span.org and we will have more tomorrow morning on the c-span washington journal and also get an update on the supreme court oral arguments will be taking place among the guests tomorrow will be congressman adam smith, from washington and member of the house armed services committee to talk about a member of the defense related issues and putting u.s. involvement in afghanistan and syria and the u.s.

kennedy was wealthy. and people all over the world, when john kerry was killed, put his picture up. and it stayed there for years in their homes. that's because they felt he cared about them. he knew them. he knew what they were going through. you know, romney's problem is, he can't answer those people's questions. the president was talking about retraining today and about jobs. romney's endorsed a budget that would shred retraining and destroy 4.1 million jobs in the next two years while also shredding medicare. so he can't really answer the questions. he wants to take the department of education and reduce it to, i guess, nothing more than a kind of inquisition against teachers' unions. i mean, this guy can't answer the concerns of ordinary people. that's going to become clearer and clearer as this campaign goes on. >> here's the president on the republican budget proposals today. >> they decided to double down. instead of monitoring their views even slightly, you now have republicans in washington, the ones running for president, proposing budgets that shower the wealthiest ameri

the latest from the business desk kerry i'll be back in about fifteen minutes but so you can always buy more stories on our site at r.t. dot com slash business easy kennedy thanks for that update as i sure will ask if you can see recap our top stories is just ahead. you're vote for bush go for bush or the bush always ads by one or kerry character so the people that are going to be validating this machine can stand there all day long and vote for somebody and it will be right every time a guy can walk up here and if he hits the right buttons. you can flip a vote that he took. there hasn't been anything yet on t.v. he. used to get the maximum political impact of. the full source material is what helps keep the journalism honest. we wanted to present. something of. the close up team has been to the sverdlovsk region. where blacksmithing has developed from a craft into an industry. and now our team goes far north. of where it turns to put roads and rail are a battle against the elements.

kennedy president where this made. even carrying a state in 16 elections since the second world war, in ten of them a vice presidential running mate has failed to carry its state. kerryi'll take a run at north carolina, he picks john edwards, he loses north carolina by 13 points. >> to me the way to look at this, everybody said that we're going to solve a geographic problem with a pick. i think that's folly. the important thing if i were mitt romney and beth myers who i know is very competent, to reinforce a value that you want to convey in the election, some level of competence, i'm the adult in the room, we're going to manage the government, they need to someone in my view that reinforces that. >> many believe that could be ron porter from ohio. >> former trade rep. i think six, seven years in the congress, u.s. senator. yeah, this would be a wonderful time to pick someone fully adult and accomplished. there are luckily a number of them on the republican side who would be possible, mitch daniels is one, rob portman, i think mr. romney should not try to be -- should not try to electrify. and pick somebody new. we have done that twice in my lifetime. don't do that ag
