that he seems to be a big picture in all of the meetings,úzn he always is kind of above the minute minutiahe day to day you've you know him better than anyone. what hasey been like and what kind of person is he? is he really that big thinker who would lose hisly self-assur? tell us about the -- >> you know, your observations are absolutely right. things go badly he's the first person to get up and say, okay, how are we g foard? here's how we need to go, which is a great leadership quality. he long term.eye on the ball and ep doesn't get all distracd sta. he has goals and he keep pressingeábj forward and he com those around him to keep pressing forward to achieve those goals but i would add a third quality and i've seen itr -- i'm ie i saw it again t staff people to thank themt the campaign rs. he's an idealist. he night, that] politics is more improve our future broadly ava ando things that are necessary to secure a better life and give them theg opportunities to do that for is remarkable about him is that 20 years now, in public life, he are retains that quality and,im toy see. the sum

in all of the meetings, he always is kind of above the minute minutia, the day to day transactional things. you've been around him 20 years. you know him better than anyone. what has the journey been like and what kind of person is he? is he really that big thinker who would lose his cool and really self-assured? tell us about the -- >> you know, your observations are absolutely right. he doesn't get -- he's never too high and never too low when things go badly he's the first person to get up and say, okay, how are we going to move forward? here's how we need to go, which is a great leadership quality. he keeps his eye on the ball and on the long term. ep doesn't get all distracted by short term static. he has goals and he keep pressing forward and he compels those around him to keep pressing forward to achieve those goals but i would add a third quality and i've seen it -- i'm struck by it mainly because i saw it again today when he spoke to these young staff people to thank them at the campaign headquarters. he's an idealist. he believes, as you said last night, that politics is more tha

that stuff is all going going to go under but they will worry about this minutia ad nauseam it's a badurn for the united states. >> bill: it is. we are becoming a nation not only of a nanny state with the financial business, okay, so we will get you through live cradle to grave but you better eat and drink what we want you to because that comes along with it: we will give you the stuff, all right, but you better do what we tell you to do. last word. >> listen. i got a laugh at it now because pretty soon they are going to tell you not to laugh at it. let's put it that way. >> bill: pretty soon, if you eat the twinkie, cuffs. cuffs, miller. >> by the way if you want to smuggle twinkies, don't call me. i don't even want to think about it. >> bill: both miller and i are looking forward-to-a arriving in texas this coming friday big show in austin. two shows in houston. matinee tickets still available. bolder fresher dvd selling quickly. makes a great stocking stuff although it may scare the kids. reality check on deck. our pal jon stewart turning on me. all about president obama's re-electi

normally i get down on these analysts because i think they look too much the minutia of a company andolis the macro themes. i like his methodology, starting right at the top, politic and policy because those are the big drivers and movers of stocks over the last five years. the thing i don't like about downgrading cat, there have been some decent numbers out of china. if we think we're going to come to some agreement on fiscal cliff, the broad market with rally. cat would become a proxy. >> so disagree with jpmorgan there. brave man. "limited upside brings us back to a hold on valuation ground." the stock has had a modest jump of 8% over the past six months. >> i'm long j&j and am going to hold it like they say. that 3.51% yield is nice particularly when they're -- when the government's compressing yields along the treasury curve and the perception of safety and yield together is going to become very attractive. i'm not sure if safety's deserves but perception is there. people might flock to johnson & johns johnson. >> you're comfortable with this drown grade. >> i am. if it settles a

little earlier when you start talking about these financial things, you know, the i don't want so say minutia more specifics of the negotiations and what the numbers mean and the two different sides will tell you that the numbers are different, it is kind of hard for the average person on who doesn't have an mba to figure out what's going on here. >>> john mccain is suggesting the republican party should focus on bigger issues and leave abortion alone. during an interview yesterday the senator said while he is proud of his pro-life position, there are bigger things to worry about like the economy and national security. police are admitting they missed a potentially key piece of evidence in the casey anthony murder investigation. a computer investigation missed an internet search with the words "full proof suffocation" on a computer anthony shared with her father, the last day anthony's daughter caylee was seen alive. police admitted to the mistake after first record by an orlando tv station last week >>> the president of the gas company involved in a mags explosion in springfield, massachuset

concern with the big issues of life, the people the middle age like me who is struggling with the minutia of every day life. >> rose: concerned with the essence of life which is relationships and love and fear -- >> well, teenage boy asks another in this book what matters, and the answer is sex and death, and then as an afterthought, music. now, none of the adults characters are having that conversation, this is not -- >> rose: they are worried about mundane things. >> paying the bills and you know what? they are right to worry about paying the bills, we all do. >> rose: but here is what is amazing to me. you were worrying about paying the bills and yet at the same time you were writing amount the fantasy of teenagers and everything else. >> yes. >> both of those at the same time, you had to be an adult and worry about paying the bills and deeply inside of a life in which you are not worrying about, you are only thinking about -- >> well -- well i think -- >> rose: an imagine world of which sex -- relationships. >> yes, completely, yes, yes. i mean, that's the life of a writer isn't it, i

a lot of political minutia in it. i think you'll love it.her way to washington as a senator. and wall street is not happy about it. we'll be right back. stay with us. [ male announcer ] this is joe woods' first day of work. and his new boss told him two things -- cook what you love, and save your money. joe doesn't know it yet, but he'll work his way up from busser to waiter to chef before opening a restaurant specializing in fish and game from the great northwest. he'll start investing early, he'll find some good people to help guide him, and he'll set money aside from his first day of work to his last, which isn't rocket science. it's just common sense. from td ameritrade. >>> we are back. senator-elect elizabeth warren of massachusetts is probably one of the most qualified people ever to potentially serve on the senate banking committee. so of course, wall street is trying to fight it. lobbyists are pressuring lawmakers to deny her a seat on the committee. according to mother jones magazine. the lobbying groups have been going nuts to kee

now we're just waiting for the minutiae to finally get through. >> bill: that's in large part to good it happen. those people standing in those long lines in florida, i don't know that i could do that. rick scott, trying to tamp it down prevent people from vote, no, no no, we're going to stand in line. they did it. >> this was an interesting election because you could, you could do this last election, too, but more people are checking twitter if you're waiting in line, you have twitter, so there was a big movement saying stay in line. if the polls close at 8:00 and you're in line at 7:58, stay in line. >> bill: there was a place in virginia where they were voting until midnight last night, one of the reasons they couldn't call virginia. they were passing out bottles of water and pizza. >> i love it! >> bill: tampa florida hey don, tampa had a lot of blue votes last night. hi, don. >> caller: yeah, awesome very proud of the florida voters in hillsborough county. thanks for taking my call, bill. hey, i just wanted to say that this rick scott the worst rated governor, his tactics worked,

so it is just letting go of the expectation and all of the minutiae that gets in the way.us on our kids. let's not do everything a as amazingly as it should be done the and just enjoy it. >> what i love most is you do it with humor. there were four of you that pit together. you two do tv and you hired a comedian to help with this. >> a writer for conan and a single mom brought hers. so we compiled our ideas together and she brought out the funny. which has been the thing that women are loving. the message is give yourself a break. too much mommy guilt. let go of that instead of crying about it, laugh about it. >> have you been caught saying the real title of the book? >> we say it -- it's true. our kids love to say my mom's a you know what mom. it is great. >> we are like can you run that by "new york times" best selling author. it sounds better. >> ask for the book with the title that you can't say on tv and they will know what it is right there. we are calling it shoddy mom. >> nice to meet you guys. i have gotten two copies for friends already. >>> new debate on then be

but -- characterized the mob was minutiae for good next sakes. libya is a mess. there's no government, no army. it's not a success. probably better than having that monster gadhafi and his family in charge of it. but that's the problem. they have to get their eyesight up. we've got a war in afghanistan going that's running us $6 billion a month and several hundred killed and wounded a month. and here we're focused on this tragedy of four americans killed in a very risky situation. they probably shouldn't have been out there. that's really the finding. >> how about this? might the bigger story be the u.s. needs to provide more protection for these diplomats in places like libya? >> absolutely. part of that was a function of budget, for god's sakes. we've got these global embassies and consulates and presidents overseas. if you can't protect them we ought to tell the swiss to represent their interests or somebody else. the brits are smart enough to pull their ambassador out and close down the operation. if we wanted to stay in there we should have put 100 marines a

i've got an important question for jack, enough of this beating around the bush with these minutia questions, our shoe companies, sales have been a little slow and you know, i remember very well that you were a star salesperson for thom mcann. many people feel their career peaked in selling shoes. you've got ideas about how to sell purple shoes. >> just up the commission, increase the commission on the people. >> tell me how you really did it when the women came in and you were getting a nickel for black shoes and 25 cents for purple shoes. >> i was able to have more drive and incentive and incentives drive all kinds of behavior, warren, as you know well. >> tell me what you told those women. >> i don't recall. >> well, i think you told me that when they were in purple shoes, men would look at them from miles away, but if they kept wearing the black shoes they were going to have real trouble. >> i didn't remember that, but that could have been true. >> you were well-known for that at thom mcann and it was the beginning of a fantastic career, jack. >> i love you, warren. >> okay, good to talk

. >> let me ask you in th minutia for a moment.came out stunningly to many after the benghazi attack and said it was the anti-muslim video. and many people were scratching their heads. >> i am told he did not say that. i was told by people in the room, he's the one guy who said it was terrorism. >> brian: he explained to people and left scratching their head. >> gretchen: i am wondering if he came to testify and that was under oath if he would have to stick to that story of the videotape. >> he can saw we know more. i don't think any serious person thought it was the video. you don't aquar - mortars because i am so mad about the movie and let me pick up my mortar and bomb something. >> steve: this is a novele victory at york town. it is not just historical recollection but people we never met before. >> the important thing about victory for conservative. washington didn't give up. washington had eight years in the field and went home to mount vernon one week in eight years and had tough battles and a longg winter in valley forge. >

they were involved in the minutia of life. these institutions have to be reformed. they have to be vetted in return and replace and focused externally. at the same time, the responsibility for internal security can be transferred to the interior ministry and the police. the next is transitional justice. dealing with crimes committed by services during the previous regime is a major requirement for successful ssr. without a resolution of popular grievances come without a feeling a part of the society that justice has been achieved, you're not going to get progress. now, the problem with this is that some members of the security services have to be punished and we have to move on. but the security services have to be trained to shoot into new order for there to be any chance of maintaining and moving forward. and so finally -- >> you have two minutes. >> at two minutes. >> that's the nicest sound so speaker can finish, not get off. ssr is a comprehensive government reproach on behalf of international donors and recipient governments. when most people hear that, they t

it was an education for people who were not steeped in the budget minutia the way senators were, buthere was a real progress. we then went out to andrews and if anything the situation was worse. i have my access from the andrews summit, which i did not realize i had until they cleared out so they could put a new roof on because of sandy. they said, what are you saving the stuff for? i thought, this is what i am saving it for. my number is 108. i was not a lowest ranking person there. it was a room where food was consumed, but there was a whole lot of staffing and it went on and on until 2:00 at night sometimes. very little happened in the way of progress. until the much smaller group, the 8 people, largely without staff met in speaker foley's offices. there was an agreement reached which, as was pointed out, did not pass the hurdle but got halfway down the track and was a symbol of progress. that progress in part was the result of miss judgment on the part of some important players. i would say, senator byrd was convinced that the caps that were part of the agreement and insisted upo

they are involved in the minutia of life and they have to be reformed and they have to be turned and replaced and focused externally. at the same time the responsibility for the internal security is to be transferred to the interior ministry in the police. the next transitional justice. dealing with crimes committed by the security services during the previous regime is a major requirement for successful ssr. the resolution of popular grievances without a feeling on the part of the society that justice has been achieved or not going to get progress. now, the problem with this is some members in the security services have to be punished and we have to move on but the mass of the security services have to be transitioned into new order for there to be any chance of maintaining and moving forward. so, finally -- >> you have two minutes. >> that is the nicest sound a speaker can hear. ssr is a comprehensive government approach to reform on behalf of both international donors and recipients governments and most people here that and think that's impossible we are never going to achieve tha
