mcgovern said their wide eyed geopolitical schemes typically went right into the circular file.in september 2000, they issued a report that called upon the united states to dominate global resources, the key to realizing this was, quote, some catastrophic and cat liezing event like a new pearl harbor, and so you have the allegations of weapons of mass destruction and iraq itself for a larger scheme. the unresolved conflict for iraq gives immediate justification, the need for american force presence in the gulf transcends the issue of the regime of sue dam hussein. and rumsfeld reacted to the attacks by declaring to bush's cabinet that the united states should immediately attack iraq. it didn't matter then or later that iraq had no connection to al qaeda or the 9/11 attacks. he told senior council, quote, to think about how do you capitalize on these opportunities? she compared the situation with 1945 to 1947, the start of the cold war. not all people in the national security council felt the way that those administration officials did. take richard clark. he'd advise, oh, presid

than democrat, but he decided he would run in the democratic primary here in 1972 to derail george mcgovern. that he was determined not to put in too much time on the campaign trail's suit campaign in a winnebago at 11 morning at 1:00 in the afternoon have a long nap. at any rate as a junior member of the nbc coverage team and unfortunately i drew sam your dfa candidate had to traipse around new hampshire a. one day i was just completely exhaust did mentally and physically by chasing after him knowing he was the going anywhere. when a colleague, friend of mine who is a competitor from cbs came running down the hall, the headquarters in manchester, he was waving los angeles time newspaper and said this will cheer you up.

>> you know, even politicians who become businessmen, that happens, george mcgovern who ran for president68, he became a businessman, he left politics, ran a small inn in the state of connecticut. eventually was so frustrated by the rules and regulations that he was a part of. he was one of the sponsors of some of the billses that when he was a businessman he was against. even politicians when they become businessman realize that the rules and regs don't work. >> boy, did you get that one on the dot. i wish he would have been a businessman before going into office. many politicians say oops, i wish i knew. that it's how the political system works. from here on out, especially during the big campaign program going on for the next year, tell the nation not just what you want to do, how you plan to do it, and even though you don't have the experience, how you're going to pull this one off. and say at the same time -- they should do this in writing, i started this during the last election, the accountability pledge. i will do this, this and this, and if i don't do this, this, and this, in my

i'm joined now by congressman jim mcgovern, congressman of massachusetts.me. >> happy to be with you. >> let me get your reaction to this from the wall street journal. are you in support of this as well? >> yes, absolutely. i think the more the american people can travel to cuba and the cuban people can travel to the united states, i think that's a good thing. >> is that the president's purview, though, or should it be the congress where the embargo was kacaudified and still stand today? >> if the president can do it within his executive action, i hope he'll do it. i think our policy for the last 50 years has been a miserable failure, and i think it has not served the cuban people, and it's time for a change. the event last friday, the raising of the american flag at the u.s. embassy, i think, was -- i hope was the beginning of the end of the cold war and the beginning of ushering in a new day where we're going to have more direct relations between our two countries. >> and congressman, how do you think that's going to benefit things inside cuba, if at all?

the mcgovern convention was a mess because they let people talk until you got nominated until 2:00 in the morning. that's the messy way the democrats look sometimes. i this i that is a danger for that. >> columbus, georgia, duncan, democrat. good morning to you. >> caller: good morning, ma'am. thank you for taking my call. my comments for the most part are about mr. trump's hatred, comments and remarks about anyone who says anything negative about him. you know, it's really sad. i was really saddened by the comments that he made in regards to miss kelly. as far as i was concerned, it was a fair course. he tends to say a lot of hatred and very ugly things about people. i imagine just because he can, because he is a rich man and all that stuff. like a lot of others, it is no excuse for the things that he says. i'm amazed by the people that according to the polls have fallin behind him. i understand politics a little bit. i'm a 57-year-old man. i follow it just a tad. our politics has reached a new low with this gentleman here. it is beyond. he gets in these news conferences and what hav
