remember senator moynihan said, " you can have your own have ons, but you cannot your own fax." what has the areas of science is people have the faxed with -- facts with ideology. certainly, one of our challenges in the future is how on the same page when it comes to these issues of science and technology. because many of the problems going to be solved. energy -- okay, agriculture is perhaps the largest per-unit user of energy in this country. that is one place where there is a remarkably positive thing happening. this country is likely to become energy independent in the next decade. we are the largest -- or will -- producers of natural gas in the world. if you are looking at some of the positives of agriculture, the power of energy energy availability, energy pricing, to make agricultural a lot more competitive. one final thing which i think is important to consider is the issue of the rural, urban interface. world moved of the regions, especially in china, it has significant impact on food production, water utilization, and climate. these are great challenges of the future.

candidate jim moynihan went to vote for himself but instead the machine selected his democratic opponentection owe officials took the machine off service blaming if on a calibration error. >> a whistle-blower goes public about what is going on inside the veterans administration. >> i think this is where the v.a. expects the public to be stupid and believe the lies they're telling. >> shortly after that interview with neil cavuto on fox, that v.a. whistle-blower was asked via e-mail to attend an administrative meeting to sign a notice that he wouldn't talk in public anymore. when he declined the v.a. told him mr. davis, with all due respect, the notification sent to you was not an invitation to which you can decline. what did they want him to sign and why the threatening note? that whistle-blower, scott davis, appears on television again. good morning to you. he's in atlanta. >> good morning, steve. >> so it was eight minutes after you left the air with neil cavuto that you got the e-mail where they said you've got to come talk to you. what were they trying to do? >> shut me up and distra

i had dinner one time about 17 years ago with daniel patrick moynihan and george stephanopoulos just was outraged. he said it's a disservice to the president. it inhibits conversations and less likely to take people in who might do that. this president unfortunately somehow has had it happen to him three times, gates, panetta and clinton. all three were wrong. it raises questions about loyalty. >> by the way, it may have happened, mika. it may have happened and people said everybody is attacking barack obama. this speaks to barack obama's leadership. no. it speaks to the character of the people that written these tell all books about a man who knows them, who they served. and the thing is, what concerns me is presidents in the future will be more likely to get bland milqtoast homogenized lackeys. i want a republican to go out and get a democrat and bring them in or a democrat to get a republican, and get an exciting, energetic exchange of ideas. because what leon panetta did and other people are starting to do that's less likely for this president and for presidents to come. >> all r

we're the last few weeks away -- nbc news "wall street journal" poll show republicans have a five moynihan lead on democrats. that's something to pay a lot of attention to. unless you're two weeks out and other polls showing this trend and then suddenly that's a big concern for democrats. >> all the polls that we have seen in the last few weeks and months show for a republican takeover of the senate, but there's some key races that could country out anyway in the next two weeks depending on what happens. we've seen in several states in terms of alison lundergan grimes in kentucky and her position whether she voted for president obama, the president is trying to mobilize black voters in some key states, georgia, maryland, it will be interesting to watch what happens. generally the predicts from the polls show republicans holding on to the house and possibly taking over the senate. >> you mentioned elizabeth warren as she hits the campaign trail she brings an aggressive populist message. >> i think the game is rigged here. i think washington actually works really well for those who have lots

bobby moynihan is one of the funny guys from "snl." he was there. when they speed it up, this is what it looks like. >> oh, lord. >> okay, all right. okay, okay, we get it. >> you know, they called us up and asked us to do it. you guys are funny over there, you go, the president has done it, president clinton and president obama has done it. hugh jackman just did it. and so, you know, people love doing it. >> they do. >> but i thought what the heck are we going to do. >> they didn't know what we were doing there. >> we had to write that skit. the only thing that can work because i have a bad neck, let's get some of my stuff made into one of those prop, you know, bottles. >> those were those -- they were made of sugar. >> by the way. no one knew what we were doing there. but it was exhilarating, it was fun and all behind this -- i was happy. i've never been so happy to be booed in my life. and we met vince mcmahon backstage. >> here's the thing. it has got this raucous circus atmosphere but backstage it is some of the sweetest, gentlest giants, so po

yet pat moynihan and john ehrlichman. they are proposing national health care. they're proposing a warrant cancer. they are proposing the epa and the clean air act and clean water act. they're proposing opening relations with china are cold war nemesis. regardless of your politics whether richard nixon was right or wrong 40 years later he was somebody who liked ideas. you have a lot of that debate going on in the oval office. that's where the tapes are fascinating. a lot of these ideas were -. >> my question is for john dean. given richard nixon's erratic brainwaves how did we ever get saddled with spiro agnew and vice president nvidia for the role at all in the dirty tricks? >> the answer to the last part of your question is no, none whatsoever. in fact nixon kept him out of office. to discover the answer in my work to the first question. a fellow by the name of tom pappas who was a greek american businessman had been the first to recommend agnew to president nixon is somebody who he thought was an appropriate moderate at that time governor who gave balance to
