mr. jefferson curks give us your reaction to the news today? >> a lot of people in new orleans said there will be an honorable explanation for the money in the freezer. >> address mr. trout. >> yeah, they obviously did not accept the government's view that count, and we always thought that that was the evidence, we always thought it was innocent of that charge. and we're disappointed that they didn't seep our way, see it our way on the other counts. >> the prosecution has long tried to paint mr. jefferson has a greed sexie corrupt politician who tried to sell his influence as a congressman. i know you argued -- you even called his actions stupid at one point, but not illegal. explain what you felt the central crux of this argument was for the defense. >> well, we've always contended that they did not prove the crimes that they charged. and are as i say, we're very disappointed that the jury disagreed with us on the counts where they found him guilty. >> question back here, please. >> can you show your hand at all tooze where the weak spots are i

mr. jefferson, former congressman jefferson and his family. >> he is still looking at sentencing. >> that's right. sentencing will be coming up in october. the maximum is 200 years. >> oh, my gosh. isn't also what is at issue is whether he will lose a good $450,000 in assets or have to pay back some of the money he is found guilty of taking? >> well, the government is holding a big chunk of that money. i don't think that is going to be a problem. the jury said he owes $470,000. believe it or not, this shouldn't be a shock, he's going to appeal that decision to the u.s. court of appeals. >> sometimes that buys you a little time. then sometimes you still are sentenced and then your appeal comes later and you are appealing while in your jail. >> they didn't call him dollar bill for nothing. >> yikes. let's talk about minor league pitcher julio castillo. >> love this case. >> you do? ouch. throwing the ball at a fan in a very hard, big way. now we are talking about a possible lawsuit. >> well, on the criminal aspect of it which got resolved a couple of days ago, julio who is facing eight years

mr. jefferson? >> not good. here's the deal. there's an act and racket earring rico fraud. his defense, interestingly enough, i didn't do an official act, but that isn't what the law says. if there was an intent to do so, the defense argument has been, he's a really unethd cal guy, but what he did is unlawful. it's a terrible argument, but that's all they've got. >> richard, real quick, because i want to squeeze in this other situation. the hot $54 million pants. but let's talk about jefferson. what do you suppose the jury may do or think? >> well, jefferson's history, he's not like a rock star in california going to trial in one of these cases. he's a congressman, a corrupt congressman. his family members benefited. he shook down people, it's on tape, on video. >> in virginia. >> it wasn't -- he's in virginia, right. it's not a mistake. it's not recklessness, carelessness, it's a criminal act. he's going down. >> we're going to have you back, because we must talk about the $54 million pants. >> we've got to do it. >> it's too interesting. it seems like we've been talking a

mr. jefferson in case i should die without will or testament he should biout of my money so many negroesee them. that the remaining sum should be sufficient to give them education and provide for their maintenance. he went on to say that each of these black men that were freed must be married and have 100 acres of land with instruments, cattle for tillage and know how to manage and govern it and behave toward their neighbors and the only thing kosciuszko wanted in return from them was to make themselves as happy as possible. now, jefferson took this and rewrote it making his own slaves the beneficiary of this will but, unfortunately, after kosciuszko died, jefferson never carried it out. he washed his hands of this will and left the matter to others. now, kosciuszko always wanted to go back to poland. and after the american revolution, there was a quasi war between the united states and france because much like we have the somali pirates trying to capture ships off the horn of africa, the french started capturing american ships because they didn't want americans to do trade with the brit

mr. jefferson that i am not going to last much longer but i'm honored to die under his administration and in a country where i finally feel at home and in peace. though i am going to somewhere better. really just the very end. and in years past. eight years past. to the spirit, adams and jefferson famously don't talk to each other. old comradarie and friendship that has broken apart over things like alien tradition and things like priestly. they don't speak. and in all of a sudden letters start to appear going back and forth between quincy and monticello and is the beginning of the famous adams jefferson correspondence. at those first letters a to go back and read them, they are very kind of delicate and tiptoeing. they don't really get into anything in substance. to old lies and got into a huge fight and our try to be out a way to talk to each other again. so they do it by talking about how my grandchildren they have. . . all this trash about his administration. yet [laughter] and making him sound incredibly backwards and opposed to science and all these ways and you can imagine the resp

mr. obama, by the way, has continued a presidential tradition, what thomas jefferson called neology, makinging new meaning to an old one. jackson popularize it had expression "dead duck," using it to describe political rival henry clay. for harding, it was bloviate. he botus ed it and demonstrated it as he talked on and on. now talking about the fuss over health care reform, president obama has introduced us to wee weed up. >> there's something about august going into september where everybody in washington gets all wee wee'd up. >> couric: reporters asked for a definition. >> i think wee wee'd up is when people get nervous for no particular reason. >> in other words they lose control. we'll have to see if wee wee'd up makes it into the culture lexicon or goes the way of jefferson's word meaning to unembarrass yourself, something folks in washington rarely do. we'll be right back. i don't always let my bladder problems... or the worry my pipes might leak... compromise what i like to do... like hunting for bargains, not always bathrooms. i take care with vesicare.

mr. gingrich think religion can preserve our individual rights? guest: let me say he is not arguing with me. he is arguing with thomas jefferson, franklin, john adams, george washington, alexander hamilton. he is are you with all the founders of the country. the document that gives him his rights is in the national archives. we talked about that in "rediscovering god in america" and we show you here is the declaration of independence. it says we are in doubt by our creator. with certain unalienable rights, which are life, liberty and pursuit of happiness. the talks about nature and nature's god. he is having an argument with the founding fathers of america with factual history and he is plain wrong. the base of american liberty is the belief that you personally have been in doubt by god which also means that if somebody attacks you o somebody kills you or rapes you they are violating a grant of god and it is much more powerful than a purely secular society and it is held us together for more than 200 years that bill other side of the planet can claim. >> host: three hours of books and ideas, once a month on book tv and our ser

jefferson parishes was without doubt a catastrophe. after katrina i spent a significant amount of time talking to my constituents and also to federal officials with administrator fugate, with mr. mccarthy about what changes need to be made to the stafford act. we are taking a comprehensive relook at the stafford act and the recommendations that support it, and i would seek your support, madam chairwoman and mr. ranking member, in these efforts. the stafford act is currently set up to provide recovery dollars on a project-by-project basis. for the gulf coast states that were hit by hurricanes katrina and rita, this is not optimal due to the extent of destruction. the fact that we are nearly four years from these events and the states and fema are still arguing over doorknobs and whether a building that was flooded, gutted and is falling down was more or less than 50 percent damaged demonstrates this. in catastrophic or mega disasters, the state and low cagties need to have the flexibility to rethink and replan their recovery and hazard mitigation plans. they need to have the flexibility to decide whether rebuilding in the predisaster footprint is the best solution for the comm
