. >> did it have any impact on you when erik larson came out with "garden of beasts"? >> i finished my manuscript when i realized this book was coming out and my first reaction was, why is someone else writing about this subject, but i realized he was writing in a much more focused, narrow slight, not to belittle him in any way. he focused on william dodd, the first american ambassador to germany when hitler took power and his daughter, which is part of my story, too, but two of many characters in my story which stands a much broader era. in the end, a number of people told me that if they read larsson's book, it made them more curious about the other america caps and the broader context and i hope "hitlerland" gives it to them. >> give us some of the names, but who are some of the other names that popped up in this story from the end of world war i to the beginning of world war ii? >> mostly in berlin and munich and other places. i decided to first of all, see whoever left interesting material behind and in a couple of cases i could interview a few people. one of the

joining me now is lars larson. it was a syndicated radio host and julie baginski.et's take a look at the floor and why this is happening here. there are now dueling chants of ron paul and mitt romney. [cheers] megyn: you can see the congress when making his way through. he said he is not fully endorsing mitt romney, but you can see that he showed up and has a lot of supporters. believing in his core message of liberty. among the many things, he is concerned about, it is the national debt and that is an issue for those who are on the republican ticket. my apologies for julie for interrupting your introduction. i want to talk about lars and julie. this new attack from congressman ryan. that seems to be the moniker. debt, doubt, and decline is how he identifies the obama presidency, right? >> megan, it sounds like you're having a lot of fun there. i have to tell you, i don't think it's an attack. it is a description of the obama administration. friendly, i subscribe to dinesh d'souza's theory, in 2016 that the president doesn't like the fact that america is a dominant

lars larson is a syndicated radio host and alan colmes is a her to of a new book "thank the liberalsng america and why you should." that was interesting how jeb bush went off script. he was supposed to be talking about education reform. but clearly he wanted to get some of these things off his chest. is he right? that a real leader accepts responsibility for the place we are today in this country? >> yes, he is, and i believe this president has. there was some advance word he would be defending his family of course he should. this is the beginning of the 2016 race for president. that particular speech. the president said he wished things could have moved faster. he acknowledged that. this is something we heard is not true. mitt romney spent -- i have never seen an acceptance speech where you spend most of the time knocking the other guy. no vision. he spent time blaming obama rather than saying what he was going to do. i don't believe that's what this president has done. and it's about time the other side takes some responsibility. >> alan, you are so wrong. so me the sound bite in t

joining me, lars larson and josh block who is a former spokesman for clinton-gore.folks who went out, a lot of viewers sent us pictures of theted in their tow. they say i may or may not support bay marriage. but i'm going to chick-fil-a to back dan cathy, the president's ceo because i don't think we should have people cracking down on people because of their beliefs. thought police and legislators saying you can't do business here because and i disagree about ideology. >> we live in a free country. if the president of that country wants to say crazy things that will turn some people off. it's his right to do it. the market will decide whether those comments are so objectionable it will hurt his business. it's a family business and he's answerable to his shareholders and family. big city mayors trying to legislate this business out of their cities ... they can't discriminate against customers or employees so there you have got a different question. the market will decide whether these comments will hurt them or not. megyn: what crazy comment. dan cathy said he favors

larson, will each control 20 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from arkansas. mr. crawford: thank you, mr. speaker. i ask unanimous consent that all members may have five legislative days to revise and extend their remarks and include extraneous material on the bill under consideration. the speaker pro tempore: without objection, so ordered. mr. crawford: thank you, mr. speaker. i yield myself such time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. crawford: because of the geographic area in which they live, many americans don't have many transportation options as others. as a result, these people are more directly impacted by highway and bridge tolls and -- than others who have other transportation options. state and local governments have the ability to offer discounted rates for residents in specific geographic areas. they can mitigate the impact on tolls for those who have fewer transportation options. i urge my colleagues to join me in supporting the legislation, and i reserve the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the g

my name is mary larson. i'm from virginia.ing to be the first generation of americans who are going to be worse off than their parents. i'm a middle schoolteachers, my kids hear that middle schoolers think they are invisible. everything is far away. they think we're ancient. two questions, number one, two do you agree, do you think that the generation will not e better off than the parents and the second one is, if you're own kids were middle schoolers today, what would you ask their teachers to do to help to impart the important information to them? >> yet another very good question. [laughter] so nobody can predict the future, of course, all things can happen in the world. but my best guess is that our kids will be better off than we are, and there are a number of reasons for that. the first is that living standards depend most fundamentally all -- gains and productivity. and we are living in a world of technological change, and the united states is at the forefront of that. we have some of the greatest universities in the w
