he literally made that trade the next morning. and he made $10,000 while putting a couple thousand dollars at risk. in baucus' case as he was having these series of meetings, as he was writing t.a.r.p. legislation, as he was the ranking republican on the house financial services committee, he literally engaged in 40 options trades that seemed to be particularly well timed, and he made a lot of money. his insistence is that he does not trade on inside information, but to my mind if this were a corporate executive rather than a member of congress, the sec would take a huge interest in this. okay, there's the republican example. we'll be bipartisan. let me give a example of a democrat. that would be senator john kerry. now, senator john kerry and his wife are very wealthy, they have investment funds worth hundreds of millions of dollars. what's interesting about the trading in their accounts is that there is this amazing correspondence between his legislative activity and, um, the investments that his portfolio make. so, for example,

so it was a -- it was not only literally the tip of an iceberg, it was really an incredible focusing mechanism for decisions that were coming at us and recommendations from all over the country. and a mission is probably the most incredible place -- wrong statement here. the process of preparing for a mission and executing a mission is an incredible force for us because it requires each individual to step up to their concerns, the problems they have, the gut feelings, and make a commitment. am i go or no go? and it starts from the slowest guy in the factory up through his chain where again you have this kind of decision. there's no such thing as a perfect spacecraft. there's no such thing as a perfect mission. what have you to do and have you to learn to make decisions short of certainty. and i believe this was how we were able to achieve the lunar landing, starting from a cold start in ten years. we were willing to accept some level of risk to get the job done, and we believed, and this to a great extent goes back into the design of the program manager, whatever risks remained would

and the mission started off with a real bang, literally. shortly after lift-off, the spacecraft was hit by a couple bolts of lightning and the navigation system, the platform had started tumbling, the electrical system had dropped offline. they didn't -- mission control literally made no sense. and the young controller, john aaron became a legend with the call that he made. jerry griffin was flight director. john aaron was just a few second of reflection calls up jerry griffin and says, flight have the crew take sce to ox. this was a recommendation no flight director had ever heard, no crew had ever heard, no c cap com had ever heard. jerry said sce to ox? all with a question marks behind them. we voice this up to the crew. pete conrad in the voice tapes that we got after the mission on-board is talking to his crew members. he says, sce to ox? what the hell is that? we repeat this statement one more. well al bean -- each one of the crew members in the spacecraft had a portion of the command module that they were responsible for. and down in

literally took one look at laura, and he knew that he was in love with her. i mean, it was -- >> love at first sight. >> it was, and george bush, certainly, i couldn't breathe when i was in the room with him. i was 16. >> that's what you have to look for. i want to know how you guys felt when you found out the terrorists were trying to attack the white house. >> well -- >> terrible, terrible. >> you mean on september 11? well, that was really one of your questions i'd seen before, what were the best days and what were the worst days in the white house, and, of course, september 11th was the worst day that -- really, when i thought about all the days at the white house, the bad days were the days when something bad happened in our country. not when something bad happened to us personally, but when something bad happened to people in our country. and certainly, that was one of those days that, you know, we'll never forget. but also when i was thinking about your question, richard, on the best and the worst, there are also on those days when really bad things ha

literally we're flying across the ice now. and that was just the start we moved post one hundred seventy kilometers an hour and despite the speed it was still an incredibly smooth trip if you do happen to have a spare half million dollars lying around when highly recommend. called believe i was already flying just a couple of centimeters above this river. that is a pretty special taxi right sadly i was going to have to hit the roads again if i wanted to get back to moscow. but i still wanted to pick up some authentic news new souvenirs and for those there's really only one place to go. sadly i haven't been elevated to the aristocracy but i think the grandest gift shop that i've ever seen because this region is the birthplace of one of russia's most famous and lavish painting styles and it has souvenir is fit for a king. this is home folk arts it was developed here in the seventeenth century and almost four hundred years on the industry is still thriving. takes simple items then paints them to give them an appearance of great v

something so literal. and so, i think that you know, it was a terrible, terrible day. but also, i think we saw the good of a lot of people. including those firemen and other people that went into the buildings. >> what was it like, i'll never forget, a year later when you went up to new york and went down into the pit and met with the families, obviously you met with families before. but, is that the hardest part of the job? >> i think that is a really hard part, but i think especially those people that lost people on september 11th, it's hard and terrible. but there's something inspiring bit, a meeting with families that lost their family and child and wife in overseas in iraq or afghanistan, usually we ended up being very inspired by those families themselves. the, there was one family that lost their son on september 11th, he was on the plane that flew into the pentagon and he was a public health doctor in the public health service, he was a rising star in public health and they lived in west virginia, a lot of those new jersey and connecticut towns outside of new y

catching on fire, the error was literally killing kids and the elderly because it was so polluted. the land was being destroyed before the super fund, and essentially externalization of the corporate profits, of the corporate cost infected wasn't externalized the corporate cost under the environment was just totally out of control, and it was like other times in american history, 20 million americans, didn't matter what their politics were or otherwise cannot and said this has got to change and now with richard nixon in the white house, again, it wasn't a partisan response, almost within months literally after that and a few short years we had the clean water act, the clean air act, the safe drinking water act, the eastern wilderness act, endangered species act, the epa created for the first time the american history a total recreations really of the relationship between we the people and how the corporations are going to operate, so democracy was working well and by the way we had the amendments in those years the tax is eliminated, which discriminated against more folks the peopl

i think it literally was everything technically that we asked it to do. it could deploy, it could retrieve, it was a platform for evas. it carried laboratories. it was a launcher for satellite sis fems. y systems. anything that was asked of it technically, it got done. the one thing it did not become was the economic workhorse that we had expected it to be. i think this was part of this process within the nation we were using to sell programs to congress. you overstate their abilities. i don't think any operator ever looked at said, hey, we're going to launch one of these guys every week. no matter how good your space system is, really it wasn't that good. the technology wasn't quite there. it is not the dc-3 of the space program. it's back maybe a generation earlier than the dc-3. some of the earlier douglas transport prototypes. but i think you have to put this in the context of today and in the context of the future. i think it is essential to maintain many of these technologies as a nation so that we're capable of protecting and providing for our own

the point at which this program had been literally moving along. apollo 11, you were lunar flight director. you were in charge of that. but you also took part in the whole thing, didn't you? >> yes. >> so let's go back over apollo 11. and what a thing to go back over. that's a big project. >> there are many things that stand out. the person says, where were you when? i sure had an awful lot of great breaks in my life. i mean whether they be in college, whether they be in flying airplanes. but one of the ones that i remember that is related to apollo 11 in a very direct fashion was the day that i got the assignment to do the landing phase. cliff charlesworth was the lead flight director. and one of the responsibilities of the lead flight director is to identify which flight director is going to cover which phase of the mission. and moving in there, this was the first mission where in apollo now, where lonnie, charlesworth and myself, who had been flight directors on gemini were actually coming back together again. so you had probably the three most

and to hand over not tens, but literally hundreds of problems every shift without a glitch. to have these people respond to loss of control because a control moment -- module that's holding the altitude freezes up in this whole stacks base system starts tumbling, to recover from a massive short in one of the power distributors that is scattering solder balls all over the inside of the spacecraft, all kinds of problems come up. to learn to repair and replace

wars program that never materialized and a lot of that money just vanished into space i mean not literally but well actually literally i suppose but you know if you're concerned about your three year old daughter i would think that you would be wanting america to be making investments in their feet in our future like we did fifty sixty years ago not just spending money for the sake of running up the debt so that the you know the jude wineskins to santa clause three could play out like reagan was where if you run up the debt big enough the democrats when they come into power or go. to be forced to cut social security but i don't think that there's anybody that disagrees that there are certain investments that we ought to be making for a future i wouldn't advocate that we should be cutting government by ninety percent or anything like that what i'm saying what a lot of folks that are fiscal conservatives are saying is that we have a spending problem in this country we have something we have spending right now that's at twenty two twenty three out of g.d.p. and we are. we are spending at hist

harry truman introduced literally a universal single payer health care system they blocked that. truman ran against it and was so successful that the republicans didn't take the house again for forty six years so they've they collapse and they were followed by a rational eisenhower administration massive infrastructure investments eisenhower famously said should any political party attempt to abolish social security unemployment insurance and in the eliminate labor laws and farm programs you would not hear that party again in our political history is a tiny splinter group of a few of the texas oil millionaires an occasional politician or businessman from other areas their numbers negligible and they are stupid so that was the rational eisenhower republicans but then a generation later came the irrational goldwater republicans who oppose the civil rights laws thought it was all about states' rights they wanted a belligerent foreign policy which just handed lyndon johnson the daisy ad you know hey let's have a nuclear war and of course barry goldwater wanted to cut taxes for the ri

it was literally hours from the time we would request a print-out of the telemetry data until we would see them. so the only records that we had to work with were the ones that were in the recorders themselves and a few of the hard copies we could take and make a copy of the television display, a controller was looking at. so we had these pieces of paper and these controllers had been watching the life's blood drain out of the spacecraft and we knew there had been some type of explosion, but that was about all there was. so our job was basically to try to figure out what on board the spacecraft was still useable and to come up with a game plan to get them home. by now we had made the decision that we are going to go around the moon and i made sort of a brief opening speech because i had a lot of new players who were starting to show up from the engineering community. we had astronauts who were reporting right on-board. it was obvious that this team was much larger than we really needed at this stage of the game. i needed to get focused upon the most immediate problems. now throughout a

so, just getting people to wake up to what was just literally there 200 years ago, 150 years ago. you see the object and say what is that. you come out and hear these intriguing sounds, sounds like i have never heard in my life. and then you step closer and you almost have a very intimate experience. >> we could link to different institutions around the globe, maybe one per continent, maybe two or three in this country, then once they are all networked, they begin to communicate with one another and share information. in 2010 the website will launch, but it will be what you would call an informational website and then we are going to try to, by 2011, invite people to add a memory. so in a funny way the member rely grows and there is something organic about how this memorial begins to have legs so to speak. so we don't know quite where it will go but i promise to keep on it 10 years. my goal is to raise awareness and then either protect forests from being cut down or reforest in ways that promote biodiversity. >> biodiverse city often argued to be important for the world's human po

we were doing this to the point where this mission control team literally knew no limits. they could do no wrong. there was no problem too tough or too time critical for them to sign up for. "apollo 15" i remember because of the heavy penalty the crew paid due to the intense workload down in the lunar, where we had dave scott and jim irwin basically now with their rover extending the surface operation, extending the surface time. and basically working against the suit. their fingers were hemorrhaged. they became dehydrated. by the time they finished their evas and we lifted them off, they got into lunar orbit and glen lunny was on console at that time and he had the darnedest time trying to get the spacecraft ready for the separation of the two spacecrafts. getting the equipment transferred to the command module. i was sitting next to him and it was like the crew had mental lapses, blackouts. the instructions we'd get then we'd clarify the instructions for the suit integrity check, cabin integrity check. this wouldn't get done. the separation maneuver wouldn't get off in t

a great example, they introduced 35 years ago to do a campaign to get all women and men or boys literate. it was 22% and today it's more than 75 percent if you look at a demographic curve with the population, you can see it's just starting to reach an apex in bangladesh. they're way ahead of india, and pakistan. it's an impact to stabilize the population there. also, um... excuse me. you know having hard cover thing fighting terrorism with education i've learned from islamic scholars. in the koran it's implicitly stated in the holy koran when a young mangos on jiha d and this is a spiritual endeavor to seek knowledge. it could also mean he's going into a group. but he has to get blessings from his mother first and if he doesn't do that it's shameful and disgraceful. after 911 the taliban had a high desertion rate and they were trying to get recruit groups to fight against intervention and coalition and they went in literally impoverished societies because educated women refused to allow they're sons to fight in theal bonn. you have a less educated mother here. single parent in the diffic

it's education is what we determined if these young men and women become literate patriots or illiterate terrorists and the stakes could not be higher. this comes from a united states military commander in the united states. i'll jump across the border and tell you why the stakes could not be higher. this is pakistan in 2005. 74,000 people were killed in this earthquake. 18,000 were kids going to school. most of the kids that died were younger and female because they didn't have desks so when the walls started shaking and the roof came down they perished. there was 9,000 schools destroyed or rendered unusable. 1/2 million kids displaced out of school. in earthquake, they call it the coy mot that means this apocalypse. at first there was a very heroic effort. infer natio international community helped. after katrina red cross got 2,000,000 for help and for this earthquake red cross received 6 million dollars. the united states sent in helicopters that conductd the greatest air lift in the history of mankind. moved about 20 thousand on thes in the mountains to keep 1/2 million people a hiv

june of 1775, they literally had given him his commission as commander in chief of the army. on december the 23rd, 1783, general washington returned and in a very solemn, but brief ceremony, he literally returned to the congress his commission. and then left the chamber, no longer general or commander in chief, but simply as mr. to finish this hollywood set, he then rode home to mount vernon and arrives home at mount vernon christmas eve, 1783. a few days later, from mount vernon, he writes to a friend how good it is, how good it is to be in retirement and to be a private citizen, and to never again have to be called to public duty. on that he was wrong. i'm not suggesting that in march of 1783 there would be a grand coup, that is a strike at government, there wasn't much government to strike at in march of 1783. but imagine for a moment if the army had indeed taken up arms or marched or issued strong protest, that bright line that stands in our republic between civilian and military would have been crossed and it could never have been redrawn again. revolutions are not uncom

i literally think there are millions of people who would like to buy houses in the u.s. i don't know whether we want to do that or not. but there's a large number of wealthy people. that's kind of how i would look at it. i have to say, there's an asian advantage. if you look at the emphasis and importance of how that is compared to how we see it, and i know i'm generalizing it, i'm amazed, for example, in korea at the size of the private tutorial market for children between the ages of 4 to 8. there are billion-plus markets. itaustralia's fourth largest market is education primarily to asia. >> questions right over here? >> there is a cognitive question that i've detected. here a lot of people have said the technical institutes and community college is part of workforce and job growth but we have a strong message in this snags about everybody needs to have a four-year college degree, we need more kids going to a university and local governments use that as a measure of success don't you see that as contrad t contradictory as lawmakers? >> we need to broaden and maybe we'

in new england they were just closed for a day a lot of them because they had literally 60 feet of snow so they would shovel off the roof and be open the next day. in the midwest they were open for a -- they were closed for a week or two weeks. but why were they closed? this would give us the information. if they were closed because roads for blocked maybe we should prioritize opening those roads. if it was because they were without power, we should prioritize them getting power after the hospitals and safety people because guess what, the wal-marts of the world, the stop and shop or supermarkets of the world, they feed people every day. they do it much better than we will ever. we should not be, as we have for years opening up points of distributions in parking lots of buildings, of supermarkets. we should be working with them hand in hand to know are they open or closed? and if they are closed, what do we do to open them? so they become part of a team and not everybody opening and operating in their own silos. by doing that we'll be able to take care of the public in general and more
