in 2003 and 2004, i first became involved with trying to lott, when the neighbors started the discussion about a seizure with eminent domain, of the private property owners, or open space. the issue was very controversial. and we see this with groups and individuals who were split on this issue. i was very torn between individual property rights, and the need for open space. but like many of my neighbors, and many of your predecessors on the board, this particular site was appealing not only because of the need for open space but because of the crossroads location and the spectacular view that was offered by this one location with a very significant landmark assemble that marked north beach as one of the great neighborhoods of the world. with much hesitation and out, i also supported eminent domain seizure, and i follow the hearing, listening to the general managers and the library general manager as the talk about the need for open space, that this would be a good fit for the renovation. and three ballot measures of the library -- >> thank you very much. >> the next speaker? once i live

we have seen senator trent lott in washington, they are no longer on capitol hill behind me. they were the ones who would be able to cut the deals. that's why i think you're seeing at this point that the deal is a little bit harder to cut. having said that, it's not just the extremists, so to speak, on the republican side. it's the extremists on the democratic side. we've already seen fund-raising letters go out from these liberal groups saying that social security cannot be touched, that medicare cannot be touched. guess what? it has to be touched. so the question is, how can it be touched? extremism right now here in washington is, i hate to say this, is at an all-time high. >> it really is. jeanne, you know this more than anybody else. when you look at the numbers, these kinds of cuts have to be done very carefully so that you don't really change our living standard dramatically, quickly and right away. jeanne, washington politicians doing things carefully and thoughtfully, does that happen a lot, sometimes, never? >> well, i don't know. it's not happening now. we'll see w

we were told very early on, trent lott told me i don't care if you have pictures of this guy standing over a dead woman with a smoking gun in your hand. america did not want him impeached a huge jump off a cliff. you lost your majority. i have 55 republican senators. seven are up for reelection next year in tough races. we are protecting -- we are going to be the adults and you are the children. we don't care if it is about perjury or obstruction of justice, we are taking care of business. that was the welcome. the night before we started the senate trial, what i will refer to at the trial although it really wasn't a trial. more of a sham. a group of as were asked to meet with a bipartisan group of senators, three democrats and three republicans. henry hyde said will you do this meeting with me and a couple others? we went over and we were supposed to meet in a large conference room and one of them said we will be more comfortable in the committee hearing room. meet as down the hallway and six senators take seats, and they have us sit below them so we are in the circus maximum. all we

the faculties can't just write you off in an that but if you have some other, i'd be interested why lott has had a bit of a shift what other disciplines seem immune to any kind of ideological diversity. >> that's an interesting question, and on the tendency of law schools do not be as ideologically extreme as anthropology or sociology, that's pretty well borne out in the surveys that have been done. those two disciplines and some others are even more lopsided than law which takes some doing. the law has been the most influential of them, and i think you posted very interesting first cut at why professors who particularly if they intend to specialize as so many do in big and national issues of constitutional law, if they can't predict what the u.s. supreme court will do because they can't make themselves and even hypothetical ways, then they're not going to be terribly good at entertaining the court's doings. all they can do israel against it. so indeed it is intended to reward professors whom may indeed be of liberal premises, but at least take the time to treat seriously the ideas that

comes down to a deal that the president wants, supporting the gang of six legislation and you have a lott of seniors in your district in south florida. >> making sure we protect seniors from being gravely harmed by changes to medicare is a goal of all democrats including the president. and i know that long-term making sure that we can get a big solution to a big problem is going to be important. and like i said, that's why we've put everything on the table and we need the republicans in the house to join froem and congressional democrats so we can work out what everyone can agree on. >> i'm wondering if you're open to adjusting the cost of living increase for social security, medicare, so that the seniors who are getting a regular cost of living increase, it will be lower in the years to come. >> when it comes to including entitlements in any deal, there feeds to be some balance. there needs to be shared sacrifice. the president and congressional democrats are looking for that balance. and we could look at those sacred cows if the republicans are putting theirs on the table, but so far, a

outreach but are not nearly as -- is the law schools so there are a number of influences on them because lott is inevitably going to be more real world constraints then sociology or anthropology. no offense to those, but it is. in the back row, lieberman with the federalist society. >> hi. i was wondering what kind of reaction you were getting from people in these law schools to the book? >> i just began to ring on it a few weeks ago, and so i have been to i believe indiana, illinois and minnesota so far and the response has been wonderful. now it may be self-selecting. may be the ones who hate my wouldn't be seen dead in the same room, but the faculty very often agrees with much more than we might expect of both the critique and the possible ways of improving things. the students, maybe they are mistaking my talks for talks about the general law school crisis and why it is so hard for them to find jobs but forever reason it is going up in larger numbers than what i had expected. i mentioned the word economically where people are ripe for. there is a lot of doubt as to exactly how they will b

. >> reporter: yeah, this was a fascinating plot and it drives home how far the cia went to to lott osamaen. we note a pakistani source tells us that a pakistani doctor has been arrested and is he suspected of helping out the cia set up this plot. according to this source, he allegedly set up a vaccination campaign, offering free shots, free vaccinations to children and residents of abbottabad where the bin laden compound was. according to the newspaper "the guardian" he hired two nurses to go house-to-house to get to the bin laden kids and extract thain bloods or use the swings from the vaccination to match their dna to with the dna of bin laden's sister who passed way in boston last year. we are not able to confirm whether the two nurses got bin laden's compound. we tracked one of the nurses over the phone and she kept telling us repeatedly she can't comment on this matter. we have managed to talk to six residents in abbottabad and they tell us in late april days before the raid on the bin laden compound, two nurses were going around in abbottabad administering these vaccinations. fasci

the american media suspected a deal and asked him whether there was a deal, kennedy would have to lott. khrushchev should understand that the deal was still on and of course the media quickly picked up the possibility that there was a deal and asked kennedy and his lieutenants about it and they lied. and i think that this was a smart bayh to tell because kennedy ended the cuban missile crisis and given the gravity of the situation at the time, i think it was imperative that he bring it to an and without the possibility of war. and he did that and he felt the only way he could do it was by telling a lie. >> host: did fdr lie back to get us into world war ii? >> guest: he lied to try to get us into world war ii in the late summer of 1941. there was a naval incident in the atlantic ocean involving a uss greer, which was a naval, a u.s. navy surface ship and it was involved in an operation with a british aircraft and they ran into a german submarine. what roosevelt did was he told a series of lies about the greer for the purposes of getting us into world war ii because of the time he was d

. >> in 1995 and 1996 people like trent lott, conservatives, call me into his office and say, what are, i never listened to limb, but it was a very responsible thing for trent and bob dole and oh republicther re to do. to explain the system. >> every likes speaker boehner and everybody thinks that speaker boehner is correctly a 2k50es decent guy that wants to do the right thing in respect was a feeling at the end of the day he will be able toll corral the tea party, who are really, way, way out there, beyond what you ever think and bring them onboard. but what's happening is, instead of speaker boehner leading the tea party, he seems to be following them. now, the internal dynamics in that caucus, i'm not sure. >> you can only take your caucus so far. your caucus at the end of the day, does what it wants to do the tea party, the really extreme right people who just say let us default of not a majority of that caucus. they're a large minority. but you need some real leadership. what speaker boehner tried to do, it's a small deal. he's tried to say, okay what do these guys need? they nee

trent lott said it was herding cats or pushing a wheelbarrow with frogs. you put one in and two jump out. it's a tough job, but he asked for it. and the senate is a great institution. i don't know what robert byrd, the late senator from west virginia, would say if he were here. i think i know. i think he'd be very uneasy about the process that we've gone through this year when, through the power of the chair, the majority leader on -- has blocked legislation after legislation, has blocked us moving forward with a budget, refusing to allow the committees to move forward, refused to allow the budget even to come up last year. we're now i think 812 days without a budget in the united states senate running the largest deficits the nation has ever run. and those deficits are not transient things. they're not just going to turn around when the economy picks up a little bit. it's a systemic, deep, structural problem and we are endangering our future and we're being blocked from even being able to discuss it while people meet in secret over at the white house with

i talked to former senate majority leader trent lott yesterday. he said in his view procedurally the earliest this could get done is wednesday or thursday of next week which pushes it past that original august 2 deadline. >> what happens? that appears to be an impasse. as you said one bill won't get out of one house and one may not get approved by the other. what happens come august 2? >> i think your guess is as good as mine. there's a lot of warning obviously about a possible downgrading of debt about a possible default. i think most folks think the treasury department has a little bit of wiggle room built into that august 2 deadline. we have seen reports from outside groups that say that tax receipts have led to a little bit more revenue. there is a little bit more money on hand than has been advertised. maybe a couple of days isn't a big -- as big of a deal. certain there treasury department is making plans at this point to figure out which bills are going to get paid and which ones will get pushed off. >> sounds like we are right back where w
