mr. card was the chief of staff to president george w. bush from january 2001 to april 2006, an extraordinary long tenure for a chief of staff, if i am not mistaken about my history. he also has experience with bush i. he was his deputy chief of staff and secretary of transportation for president george h.w. bush. mr. card is currently the executive director in the office of the provost at texas a&m university. and thank goodness that johnny manziel was finally picked in the draft because i was worried that we were going to lose a commentator, to be honest. ira said, you should get a leading scholar from history and a leading scholar from another discipline. and we have those scholars with us today as well. david farber is a professor of modern american history at temple university. he is author of a lot of books, and even more very influential articles. two of his most recent books are "everybody ought to be rich." and "rise and fall of modern american conservatism." so thank you for joining us today, david. and commenting last, but cert

so now they want to say affordable care act, george washington could not utter those words, mr. speaker, because george washington could not tell a lie. that's why he confessed to chopping down the cherry tree. i'm not sure that the stomp exists out at mount vernon yet but i'm convinced that george washington could say affordable care act with reference to obamacare because it's not an accurate term, it's a dishonest term. it's not affordable and less care. maybe it's an act, mr. speaker. so that's my commentary on going down that path with our founding fathers. but they also had this vision and they hope that and they had a long-term vision. it was a wonderful long-term version vision of what kind of a country you could build if you just laid down god-given liberties, timeless principles and laid out the pillers of american exceptionalism, articulate them, sell them to the american people, get them to support your declaration of independence, get them committed to doing what they knew they had to do, fight a war against king george. and they had to go through the winter of valle

george w. bush administration. mr. secretary, what do you make of these security measures? is the implication here that these overseas airports don't have what it takes right now to protect the u.s. from these emerging threats? >> a couple take aways if you don't mind, john. one, there is obviously a consensus within the intelligence community both in the united states and elsewhere that it's a serious threat. two, my sense is that this is probably a new kind of threat. this is out of syria and it involves a different approach toward a traditional target, and that's commercial aviation. ever since 9/11, commercial aviation is part of the threat stream that countries have had to deal with, but my sense is this is a new kind of approach, a new process and potentially a new technique ifrom a subgroup out of syria. >> a threat that requires changes and measures in place. the u.s. can't technically force the airports to change but they can threaten to suspend service to the united states, which i suppose no airline or airport ever allow. how can the u.s. make sure that these cha

george w. bush, if he was in fact, mr. oberstar had the opportunity, with the senate being in control of the president's party, and the house being in the control of the president's party, we would not be here today. we would have infrastructure bar none. we wouldn't be discussing what we're doing today. this measure today is a short stop measure but this congress has to wake up and the president should have woke up then when he had control to pass legislation for the infrastructure of this country. when we get accused on this side of not doing anything, making a short stop measure, go back in history this president has failed to recognize the importance and for those interest groups, they should have been on it at that time and supported mr. oberstar. so mr. speaker, i say respectfully, this is a two-way street. that we have to understand this is a really important piece of legislation, to keep us going. but then we have to solve it permanently and let's be leaders which we do not have down on pennsylvania avenue right no

george w. bush and katrina, mr. president, go to the border, look at it. i'll tell you where we're headed. i believe this issue of the control of america's borders and immigration policy, legal, illegal, and how to get mention toe to protect our border as well, that's a national issue, i think, in the presidential politics of 2016, and rick perry stepped out in front of the president of the united states this week, and i think i've heard democratic folks say he was far better and far more decisive and on top of the issue than the president of the united states. >> not great optics there for sure. i know that we are going to have you back a little bit later on in the show because we invited you here to talk about your new book is is a look at president nixon called "the greatest comeback," looking forward to that. >> be right back. >> terrific, thanks, pat. at 20 minutes past the hour, hear from a border patrol agent who says the federal government is aiding and abetting the illegal immigrants. hector garza joining us live for his one-on-one take as what's happening right now on the border.

mr. gustafson when he shot at the victim vehicle. >> at the murder trial, george kerr testified against hisriends, but continued to insist their car was 200 yards away from the victim's car when the shot was fired. >> it's just not a first-degree murder. >> and you base that on what? >> because he was shooting out of the car, not to kill. >> but the forensic evidence proved they were less than 15 yards away, which meant the shot was intentional. based on this evidence, the driver, r.d. cheely, was convicted of second-degree murder. doug gustafson, the shooter, was convicted of first-degree murder. both were sentenced to life in prison. since george kerr had immunity from prosecution, he left alaska soon after the trial ended. but the story didn't end there. when you run a business, you can't settle for slow. that's why i always choose the fastest intern. the fastest printer. the fastest lunch. turkey club. the fastest pencil sharpener. the fastest elevator. the fastest speed dial. the fastest office plant. so why wouldn't i choose the fastest wifi? i would. switch to comcast business intern

i would look and see that george stevens made no hollywood movies between 1943 and 1948 or wilder between '42 and '47. i want made me curious. >> frank capra best known for "mr. smith goes to washington" and also "it's a wonderful life." my question is why did george marshal go to directors like frank capra and not that have military produce them? >> it's a really interesting counter intuitive moment. i mean marshal didn't have the military produce them because he knew and most of the war department top brass knew that military movies had been terrible. many of them were in use since the late 1920s and they were just really clumsly made. but there's still a question why marshal didn't turn to the makers of news reels, nonfiction films to document the entire war effort and instead looked to hollywood and creators of fiction. and i think it's because marshal really understood the power of narrative film. he had seen its effect during the great depression when, you know, i think movies were shown often on the sides of trucks to people in the wpa. he understood movies could really rouse patriotism and fervor in people and understand hollywood directors were bett

mr. chairman, in 190 a, american philosophy george santiana famously wrote those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it, end quote. the question is will we learn from the mistakes of the past? in our view, the debate over whether there is a mismatch between demand for v.a. health care and the resources provided is a settled issue. why else would the house vote 426 to zero and the senate vote 93 to 3 for legislation to expand veterans access to health care that cbo estimated could cost $30 billion for two years of coverage and up to $54 billion annually after that if there was already enough money? acting secretary gibson testified about the progress made offer the past two months, adding more clinic hours, filling physician vacancies and using temporary staffing resources. secretary gibson also testified in order to continue this expanded access initiative for this year and the next three years, v.a. will need supplemental resources totaling $17.6 billion. unlike the proposals in the conference committee, v.a.'s proposal would have an immediate impact by continuing v.a.'
